FabriCards (again)

For some reason I've had difficulty with getting more than one photo image on my blog this morning.

This is another of the fabric postcards from my week's "play".

This one is made from a piece of batik on which I spread small bits of silk threads and fibers from left over woven silks .

It uses silk hankies (mawatas) to entrap the silk threads. These actually are attenuated silk cocoons called Bombyx mori .

Lots of thread play with my Pfaff; cording made from yarns and satin stitches; and little satin stitch beads over silk slubs.
