FROM AMANDA.

Received from Amanda in Canada, March the 24.

I have just got this oh so fine letter from Amanda. She wrote to me, wanting to be part of my textile letter exchange.

Part of the letter from Amanda.

The card merges that Amanda went to school for photography. The card is made with an old doily. Amanda have used the cyanotype process, a technique from the 1830's that creates a blue image using 2 liquids (chemicals) that become light-sensitive when, mixed together. The doily, in this case acted as a "negative".

This is such an amazing present. Thank you!

There is so many fantastic details in the letter from Amanda. This is one of them. On the card she have printed / stamped 18 MAR 2012. I would love to be able to find these stamps myself.

I love this idea. Fabric ends!!
Just like Amanda, I too like the circles with the different colors of inkdye.

Here is a polaroid of the first dress Amanda have ever sewed. She still wears it. The fabric end of "Fresh paint by Michele Dámore for Marcus" is the textile Amanda have sewn the dress from.

On the envelope "textile letter inside" were written. Such a beautiful detail. I'm in love with it.

Dear Amanda, I want to thank you for your delicate letter to me. I will put the fabric ends and your beautiful handmade card up in studio.
