I received an amazing fiber art post card from Thom...it is a beautiful knitted pattern with woven threads, ends tied on top leaving the knot and tied ends exposed for depth and added texture!  The back is knitted collected pieces tied together; little star stickers "and magic"  paper clipped in a clear plastic enclosure.  Also enclosed were little confetti pieces and a wonderful paperdoll pull out note card...  How ingenious!!…

A very Happy Holiday Themed fiber art postcard...Love the combination of the leathery paper, fabric ribbon and glass gift wrap...then you add additional texture and depth by sewing on sequins and beads...
