The Great Big Stitched Postcard {Time}

It’s nearing the end of the month and I’m scrambling to finish some projects for swaps that are all due this week.

You Are Worth The Time: An Altered Postcard

This altered postcard is for the Great Big Stitched Postcard Swap hosted by Beth Nicholls in the UK. I’m sending it to Cat Conidi in Australia.

The inspiration behind this postcard is this video. (If you haven’t seen it yet, please take the time to watch it – it has a very powerful message.) My vision for the design is to compare creativity to a seed which needs time and nourishment to grow. The time it takes to cultivate and nourish it is well worth the fruits that it will bear and flower that it will bloom. (I actually added a flower on the top right corner but I wasn’t able to take another photo.)

Creative wrapping for my altered tin can.

And for that altered tin can I made for my Mixed Media Art group, I wrapped it in music sheet and wax paper as shown above to give the recipient a more delightful surprise. (This idea was inspired by a project in Ruth Rae’s Layered, Tattered and Stitched: A Fabric Art Workshop.)
