'Smile Beautiful' greeting card - Based on an original free-motion sewn design by Bek Tainton
The print on this card 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 pretty camera was inspired by my love of photography and the days before digital cameras, when I'd go out and shoot a roll of film and then process it in the dark room-happy, happy days! Sometimes we need reminding to smile a little and this pretty card is suitable for any occasion, but particularly good for letting someone know you are thinking of them! This design is also available as a print (see separate listing)

**Nativia ® film is made from corn or other sources such as sugar beet and potatoes and conforms to the EN1342 standard, meaning it is biodegradable and compostable. It has also achieved the OK Biobased certificate from Vincotte. Nativia ® film breaks down quickly into carbon dioxide, water and biomass by microbial digestion in the right conditions. The film is sourced from renewable sources and is food safe.
Nativia ® can be industrially composted by placing it in a green waste collection bin and will disintegrate in six months to CO2, water and humus, a soil nutrient. It is possible to pace it in the food waste collection, but check with your local council first. It can also be mechanically and chemically recycled (not with other plastics because it has a lower melting temperature) and it can be incinerated. Nativia ® films do not biodegrade in landfill conditions.
