Mama (yellow) - postcard | Free motion embroidery | Print | Koala | Australia | Motherhood

£2.50
'Mama' - Based on an original free-motion sewn design by Bek Tainton


The print on this postcard captures the texture of the fabric and the stitch detail of the original artwork in a vibrant and fun design.

Free motion sewing is literally like using a sewing machine to draw with, where the fabric is the paper and the thread is the ink. The only difference is that the fabric (paper) is moved under the thread (ink) rather than the other way around! I use a 50 year old Pfaff sewing machine, that belonged to my grandmother. There's no fancy tricks or modern technology, but I wouldn't change my machine for the world!

This design was originally created for a very specific and important reason, to raise money for WIRES (wildlife rescue) in Australia after the horrific fires that ripped through the country in early 2020. I created the design and then sold the prints, giving all of the profit to the WIRES charity. Having lived and worked in Australia for a year back in 2006 and being a lover of the natural world, it was something that was very important to me. This card would make a great new baby card with a difference, or Mother's Day card, or just for someone who loves koalas! This design is also available as a greeting card and as a print (see separate listing)

Art postcards are great for decorating any space, a noticeboard or sending to someone special. I also offer a gift wrapping service with any of my prints (see separate listings) where I can write a message on a postcard of your choice to go with your wrapped print and send it to the special someone you have chosen to gift it to.
