Evil Eye Fabric Postcards

These quilted postcards are meant to be charms against evils of the world. They measure 4.25 x 5.5 inches and are backed with card stock. Each can be sent as a postcard through the US mail as long as it is hand-metered first for non-machinable postage. I have successfully sent dozens of these for less than a dollar each throughout the United States. Recipients are always surprised by the intricacy of the work and have expressed pleasure in receiving them. As they are essentially miniature works of art, each card has a small tab attached to the back for hanging.

The back of each postcard reads:

Dear

Because of:

Oil spills/global warming/wars all over the place/hostile nations/volcanic eruptions/serial killers/talk radio morons/fundamentalists/earthquakes/corrupt politicians/bad cops/drivers who text/medical errors/terrorists/defective merchandise/corporate greed/food poisoning/sexual predators/ telemarketers/home invasions/rabid animals/escaped lunatics/vengeful ex’s/abusive caregivers/crazed gunmen/crooked mechanics/shady lawyers/early-onset Alzheimer’s/high cholesterol/the obesity epidemic/gang initiations/that guy who gives you the creeps….

You need evil eye protection for your family, friends, and yourself.
Hang this card in your home, office, or keep it on your person at all times.

Sincerely,


I have them for sale in my Etsy store.

Needle-Felted Devils

These wool devils measure approximately 20 inches long. They can sit or they can be hung from a ring that is attached to the neck. Because so many artists make angel dolls, I thought I would make a couple of devils for balance.

GuardDoll No. 1 "Gwydion"

This is the first in a series of what I have titled, GuardDolls. I wanted to create soft sculptures of empowered older women. They dress age-inappropriate because they don't give a damn what anybody thinks. And they carry a weapon or two to stick it to anyone who crosses the line.

A GuardDoll's purpose is to protect and watch over her owner's valuables. With a ring attached to the back of her head, she can be hung on a wall in an auspicious place.

Gwydion, the first GuardDoll, measures 16 inches and is constructed from the following: needle-felted wool & acrylic yarns, commercial cotton fabrics, lace, thrift shop cutlery, beads, fabric bead armature.

GuardDoll No. 2 "Agasaya"

Agasaya is friendly to whoever gives her a home, but is hostile to intruders. She will watch over and protect your valuables.

Agasaya measures 20 inches and is constructed from the following: needle-felted wool yarn, commercial cotton fabrics, lace, metallic tulle, thrift shop cutlery, beads, fabric bead armature.

GuardDoll No. 3 "Anouke"

Anouke is friendly to whoever gives her a place to stay, but is hostile to intruders. She will watch over and protect your valuables.

Anouke measures 17 inches and is constructed from the following: needle-felted wool yarn, commercial cotton fabrics, lace, fabric paint, costume jewelry pin, thrift shop cutlery, beads, fabric bead armature.

GuardDolls 4 & 5 "Menhit" and "Zroya"

Menhit and Zroya have found homes to protect. They help their owners by watching over and protecting their valuables.

GuardDoll No. 6 "Nanaja"

Nanaja is friendly to whoever gives her a place to stay, but is hostile to intruders. She will watch over and protect your valuables.

Nanaja measures 15 inches and is constructed from the following: needle-felted wool yarn, commercial cotton fabrics, lace, fabric paint, costume jewelry pin, thrift shop cutlery, beads, fabric bead armature.
