Had a play with some fabric scraps today making postcards. My metal alphabet stamp set arrived today from the US so couldnt wait to have a play. I found some old broken pegs in the garden and decided to stamp on those..love the textured effect on them.. The challenge over at Theme Thursday is beauty so I think the last one qualifies!

These are gorgeous, and love the idea of using the old pegs. I've kept some broken ones not knowing what to do with them, now you're giving me loads of ideas.
Very lovely work, such fab texture !
These are beautiful cards! Love the effect on the pegs!
I think they all qualify! Love the peg stamping. Penny
very beautiful work and texture
So beautiful. One of these days I'm gonna go through my fabric stash and try something new! Thanks for the inspiration! Love your colors!
Oh wow Lorraine really stunning work.
Love them all.
They are very beautiful.
Lorraine..that is so funny! I had no clue what you were referring to when you said you had stamped on 'broken pegs'. We call them clothespins in America. :o) I had to go back and look at all the pictures and try to figure out what in the world you were talking about! I've always loved clothespins...they are the ultimate symbol of homemaking perhaps after the wooden spoon. :o)
I would love to see what your stamps look like as I've never seen metal stamps before. I like all the collages you did, but I agree that the last one most represents beauty. I don't see how you think of the things you come up with, but I do love the way you use fabric scraps.
I was driving the kids around all day today and didn't get to check my email or blog until now. My Friday's post was scheduled for the wrong day! It's so hard not to mess up when you are pre-scheduling something! Thanks for commenting on my tote bags. They are one of my favorite things to make... They are such an old fashioned form of quilting. I've been fascinated with them since I was a girl! But today, while driving I was picturing doing some book marks with teeny tiny yo-yo's or some other kind of scraps.
I think your post cards gave me a good idea...I could baste them on and maybe not make my flowers quite so 'formal'. I love the informal style of your art. :o)
wow they are all so gorgeous i love the peg idea they fit in perfectly with the collage
Awesome fabric postcards!
They look great I agree with your favourite :)
These are great Lorraine...you have really inspired me!
Lorraine.....it's wonderful way to use the old pegs! And of course I adore the fabric.....can't wait to play with some. have a nice day!
they all qualify!! great texture, makes me want to touch!!
Yep, took me a minute to figure out what the pegs were. lol. Fabulous, and what do you mean you think the last one qualifies? I think they're all spectacular! I kinda like the first one best, but they're all superb!
These are so beautiful, inspiring!
I love these too...I am looking at clothespins in a whole new way!
These postcards are absolutely stunning!
