Finished Felted Fabric ATC's

These are the felted fabric ATC's with images, beads and lace. I feel like they are more finished. Maybe because I do so much collage work they just didn't feel like they had a focal point. Now I feel like they give your eye a story.

The top five have images a friend gave me in a trade. They say Debbie Warren on the collage sheet. I have know idea how to get in touch, a web site or blog for her. If any one knows, let me know. I do like the images though. I printed them on fabric with one of the ink cartridges that had run low. I save them and put them in a zip lock bag. Then when I need something "off color" I use them. This time I needed a purplish hue.

On the last three ATC's I used some lace butterflies that I got in college at an estate sale. The woman was the textile curator for Henry Ford Museum in Detroit Michigan. I bought everything she had that the museum did not purchase or receive. There are six sizes of these butterflies and 12 of each size. I have been carrying around a dresser full of lace from this estate for years. It was fun to pull out a piece or two and use it.

I find I am a hoarder about with certain things. As I grow personally and chronologically I find hoarding is not such a problem. My goal is to use it all up in as much art work as possible. Two of the butterfly ATC's I am planning on swapping. The other is a small gift for one of the girls in the Fabric ATC yahoo group that as hit a really rough patch.

So what do you think? Do they look more finished to you? [I apologize for my scanner. It did not like these images.]
