Last of the postcards

I really hate it when things I 'have to do' interfere with the things I 'want to do'. For instance I really need to finish the last few postcards for my swap - they are due to be mailed by Sep 14th but instead I've spent the last couple of days dealing with the hard work created by my husband's hunting passion. Yes, he got a moose on Saturday, thankfully my girls and a couple of their friends came over and helped with the butchering. So today I finally got back into the studio to play with fabric.

I made two of these postcards today. I like the design concept but I'm going to work on the colors and contrasts. I used a stamp for the face and drew in the suggestion of a jaw line. Used some colored pencils to soften the stark white of the muslin I stamped on - next time I'll use something else. Dug into my scrap bag of triangles - which I still have a couple hundred of - and just used some other geometric shapes. I think I'll work on this design and make some of these for the breast cancer fundraiser that is supposed to happen at the Houston Quilt Festival. It actually looks better in person, LOL.
