Valentine Collage Cards





I had such a good time making the collage cards in the previous post that I made more with a red/pink/white Valentine's Day theme. What I like about making these collages is every action you take - the motion of the machine stitches, placement of a ribbon or stamp, density of the angelina fiber - is creating the design. That seems obvious, but in the other work I do, for example embroidery, much of the design work is done up front and then making the object is really being the machine, if you will, that puts the stitches in place. Yes, design decisions are made along the way, but not every stitch is a design decision that will change the look of the piece. So, here are more collage cards!
