and here are the rest of the seasons-
Summer-
and Fall-
I’ve done with postcards for now- I’ve run out of Peltex 72, which is what I make the cards on, and my local fabric store says they sell it out as soon as it comes in. I’ve ordered a bolt and now can stop thinking about the postcards and get back to work on the dolls. I went out to some of my favorite local thrift shops this week. I got a load of nice sweaters in wool, cashmere, angora and mixes of these. I needed some bright colors for the babies. I was also able to get a nice old wool blanket and some fun, vintage woven wool yardage. I am always on the look-out for stripes in colors that I like, but they are very hard to find. I’ve been giving the washing machine a workout since I brought it all home.
These postcards would make great illustrations for a children’s book. They’d also be great framed in a child’s room. You are a super talented lady.
They are all just gorgeous, Mimi!
Beautiful postcards! Great wool finds, too. Just this weekend I found a fabulous orange and red striped wool sweater that had already been felted.
You actually find cashmere in the thrift shops?!
I found some cashmere blend suiting, yesterday, and nearly had a fit. It’s so rare here. I think it was the second time ever.
Good quality textiles are a serious challenge. So much rubbish coming out of China and flooding the Australian market. The local industry is all but dead now.
