Throwback Thursday - My first fiber art piece

Sandra at mmm! Quilts is hosting Throwback Thursday and here is my short post.

My first fiber art piece

Last month I was going through some old family photos and found, as far as I know, my first mixed media fiber art piece. It's got collage, fabric, lace, cardboard, paper and poetry. It was made at school 😊 and was a valentine card for my parents.

First mixed media fiber art piece made by yours truly



It even has poetry!
When my daughter saw it, she was pretty amazed. I still have the same handwriting and the poem wasn't too bad :-)

What I've learned

  • I wander why my artistic talent wasn't spotted right away? Seems to me it was obvious for everyone to see :-) With a little more encouragement, I could have been the next Wordsworth or Renoir!
  • That's OK. How could anyone have known that I had the spark of an artist in my soul? It's only taken me 55 years to figure it out - so I'm not surprised that it wasn't obvious - except to my dad, who kept this for me.😊

  1. Aw c'est si précieux, ton poème! I clicked to enlarge it so I could read it. Did you speak French at home? How I wish I had, but neither parent spoke French, but for some reason I had a profound love of French from being 4 and watching Thierry La Fronde or something on TV... Love this wee Valentine and the sentiment within. Thanks for linking up and for hosting next month! ;-)

  2. That is so sweet. It's never too late to find your inner artist. You were a skilled artisan for sure. It's very tidy.
