This year I’m
participating in ICAD (Index
Card A Day) again, it’s my second time. There’s a weekly theme with daily prompts. You can find the theme and prompts at DaisyYellow.
A quote for day 41, a
good excuse to practise some hand lettering.

A simple drawing for day
42. The lettering was inspired by an ICAD-card at Instagram.

mantra for day 43, another excuse to practise hand lettering. You can listen to
this mantra here.

Tammy’s mandala tutorial to thread. I used fabric, embroidery floss and sequins.

And today I made a
collage. I used magazine clippings, stickers, acrylic paint and part of my old
doodle cloth from 2009 with my experiments for laidwork foundation embroidery. I wrote about them here.
Day 47 |
These cards are all so different, I think embroidery looks really good on denim.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks, Queenie. It was good to stitch on denim again.
VerwijderenI love how you come up with such variety for all these cards
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks, Margaret. I was glad fabric and thread was part of the theme this week, a great excuse to do some embroidery!
VerwijderenJe ICAD's heb ik weer eens bekeken. Wat zijn ze leuk!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenMooi om de details te zien van je borduurwerk op denim.
'k Geloof dat textiel wel je grote liefde is, of heb ik het mis.
Groetjes.
Nog maar 1 week te gaan met ICAD. Toch weer vlug om.
Ja, textiel is toch wel mijn grote liefde. Maar journaling is toch wel een goede 2e! ICAD is zo snel gegaan dit jaar. Ik geniet van de dagelijkse puzzel om thema en prompt samen te voegen.
