Postmark’d Art is a group of 50 fiber artists who create postcards from fabric, fiber or any number of cool mediums.  The postcards are actually sent through the mail, and travel all over the world.

inspirational link of the day: purses made from recycled suits

]]> This is such a cool idea! Mandy Curl from Mandinka Designs makes purses & handbags from old men’s suits – the purses are hip, modern and very carry-able… as well as Earth-friendly :-)

Go check out her work on Rayela’s Fiber Focus blog.

hoop frames for hanging embroidery

]]> The talented crew at Sublime Stitching have just added another product to their catalog:

hoop frames from sublime stitching

Clean, unfussy hoop frames.

They’re perfect for displaying embroidery without extra loops or hangers showing at the top.  I think they’d even work for displaying pieces of your favorite fabrics as well.

If you haven’t had a chance to read the Sublime Stitching blog – it’s definitely worth browsing through :-)
