On Our Travels with Darcy's Postcard Challenge - Turkey

While reading about Turkey I found some fabulous images of the tiles that they have produced there since the 15th Century and earlier. I chose one which can be found in the V&A museum and turned it into my backing paper. I used the colours from that tile to colour a tile of my own, a stamp from Rob Adams. The early tiles were colbalt blue and white and later in the 16th century turquoise and green then coral were added. As Turkey is also famous for its carpets I decided to needle felt the pocket for my postcard. I used wool and Sari silks on a felt base.  I am loving this challenge, thank you Darcy, so much wonderful work to see and places to find out about. Jen x
