Full description

This card is unique, there is not another the same. It is a one-off.

It measures 9.6cms x 9.6cms, when folded, and comes with a sewn upcycled envelope.

Everything used in its making was destined for the bin, making it very eco-friendly.

I found this moth-eaten, food-stained, but beautifully embroidered tablecloth in a charity shop (he lady told me it had been left in a bag outside), some time ago. It would’ve actually hurt me to leave the shop without it. It’s a illness. I felt sad for the unknown embroiderer and brought it home to give it the love and respect it deserves (cue husband: “Not another piece of junk!” and so on..).

A few months ago I made four ‘New Home’ cards using old (but clean) food packaging.

Each is different, some have a few stains. Within the marks I see a family sitting around a table having a special meal, I imagine this tablecloth has seen many happy birthdays and maybe some sad occasions. These cards are a tribute to its maker, wherever they may be.

All of my work is individually numbered, this is 121.

This listing is for one card.

If you have any questions, please give me a shout,

Alison
