I received a gorgeous fabric postcard in the mail today. I'm in a swap where we are to incorporate paper and fabric. Well the following card is from Kari and she did a knockout, fantastic job, in my opinion. The colors are beautiful. She added just the right touch of shimmery metallics (these aren't showing in the picture), many fibers and threads, and a nice mix of papers. All of this on what appears to be a background of light blue satin. Thanks Kari!

The next package was two books I had ordered. I've heard good things about these two books from some members of the Fiber Art Friends ring I belong to, so I thought they should be good additions to my craft library. Just from paging through them, I can see the reviews were right. Can't wait to start reading and experimenting.
