Postcards From the Edge...of CYBER FYBER

I "borrowed" Take It Further as my theme for 2008 from Sharon B's Take It Further Challenge. Somehow, though, I haven't found the time or uncluttered work space to actually do the challenge! This is where postcards come in. I've taken it further and signed up with Susan Lenz to swap a fiber postcard, which will be part of
CYBER FYBER,
"an exhibition of international fiber art scheduled for January 8th through 20th, 2009." Susan has created 130 fiber ATCs and 163 fiber postcards to swap with other artists and will exhibit all the swapped postcards in the CYBER FYBER Exhibition. I'm trading for Susan's Postcard #82:

Isn't it beautiful?!
OK, I haven't completed my January Take It Further challenge and should be working on February's challenge now. Hmmm, so, if I make 2 fiber postcards--1 in January's challenge colors and 1 in February's colors, then...

1. I will stay on track with the Take It Further Challenge;
2. I will work on something I've never done before--a fiber postcard;
3. I will have a piece of my work exhibited in an art show.

That's 3 goals felled in 1 swoop! Now--off to my fabric stash.

Hi!
Thanks so very much for your support with CYBER FYBER. I'm thrilled to be trading with you. I don't know if I mentioned it in my confirmation email to you, but CYBER FYBER marks my first ATCs ever and I'd only made about eleven postcards before this (and those were made in December!) We've got lots in common. I look forward to receiving your postcard! Thanks again!
Susan
