Singtatter's Swap

I'm swapping ATC's with Singtatter and she has posted the ATC's she's sending me. They are so cute! We had a theme for each ATC- one for a flower in colour, the second for something that flies. So I thought,......  ' Oh,  Hmmm, a butterfly? ........dragonfly?..........bumblebee?'  Leave it to my swap partner to be totally creative: she's sending me....................... a flying pig!! Fantastic!!  Love it!  And beautiful flowers, too!
And what did I send Singtatter?

On a background of hand-knit, varigated pink mohair-blend yarn, I added other textiles, covered it with a layer of burgundy organza, and then quilted all the layers onto felt. I then tatted a flower and leaf design with Yarnplayer's 'Garden Afternoon' in size 40. White seed beads were sewn for the flower centre.

I used the same base as above, added more fibers, and bronze organza, then quilted all the layers onto a felt backing. The dragonfly was tatted with three threads together: a metallic turquoise, silver metallic, and a sulky blendables to create a shimmering effect. Fire-polished crystals, 4mm, in Capri AB were used for the eyes and tail, and a larger turquoise bead for the thorax.

I had such fun creating these ATC's for Singtatter, and I sure hope she likes them. Thanks for swapping with me!

Thanks for visiting.
