Artist Trading Cards











These are a series of ATC's that were created for Dale Rollerson and the Threadstudio's Celebrity Trading Card display. The 1st two are inspired by a Borders shopping bag, fused to wool felt and backed with pelmet vilene. Stitching enhances the image and also creates a resist when the heat tool is applied to age the whole thing. The last card was created with a supermarket shopping bag used for carrying alcohol. Again, stitching enhanced the images and the writing and the heat tool applied. The frog was a little different using a stamped image and acrylic felt to be able to burn right through the sunthetic materials.
