Of all the classes I’m taking at TNNA, I’m most excited about the Fiber Artist Trading Cards class on Saturday morning.
These cards (tha same size as a baseball card) have been groweing in popularlty among artists of all kinds in the past several years. You can leanr more about their history on Wikipedia.
Making trading cards for fiber artists is a relatively new idea and four artists came together to hold a class at Combus and it is being held again at Long Beach.
The description from the show guide ” Creating and collecting are passions of needleworkers. Fiber Artist Trading Cards fulfill both urges. The small size and “anything goes” nature of the project appeal to young and old, experts and beginners in needlepoint, cross-stitch and any fiber craft. This class will be taught by Jen Funk Weber, Heather Holland-Daly, Kat Rocha, Sharon Crescent and Jenny Hart ” sounds so exciting I can hardly wait.
I’ll share my results here.

Those cards are wonderful – the art quilters and other assorted fiber artists have been doing them for several years – beautiful things. Also lots of “eye candy” already on the internet for inspiration.
The Cards are beautiful. A beautiful inspiration. I agree
