Those darn postcards!
When I told my friend Natalie that I had 17 more fabric postcards to make for the current swap she stated "I'd run out of design ideas". Actually it's fairly easy when you do abstract designs. The key is color.
Take a look at this - it's kind of plain - it's just strips - kind of like a strange log cabin. But the blue and green are analgous colors as are the red and orange. Plus the red and green are complimentary, as are the blue and orange. It's simple but it works.
Another one just played off the colors in the main fabric. Purple and orange. Repeating the colors in different shapes. This works too. This is actually a really good thing to do if you aren't sure of colors. If you look at the selvedge of some fabrics you will see lots of little dots of colors. These are the colors used in the piece of fabric - so you can just match to that.
Right. Simple for YOU! You can take a couple of pieces of fabric & turn them into a masterpiece. Me? I just get frayed fabric & frazzled nerves! LOL! Your PCs are lovely! Simple is GOOD!

Posted by: jan Demetralis at April 6, 2006 6:03 PMJudi you are brilliant. As Kai says not everyone has the same flare for colour combinations. You need to have the colour sense. Anyway whatever you do it is magic. You do realise you have magic in your finger tips.
Posted by: Shashi at April 7, 2006 2:36 AMYou guys are so sweet! I tell you what, the university course I took in colour and design made a huge difference. I used to have no confidence at all with colours! So you can *learn* color sense!
Posted by: Judi at April 7, 2006 8:50 AMJudi-these are wonderful!!! The colors are great and had I known you were going to be doing abstract designs I would have been more encouraging. There is no limit as to what can be achieved-truly unique to behold...
Love'em all....
Hugs,
Nat
