My online fabric postcard group is having a swap called the Tortured Tyvek swap. Here are some of my postcards. First I painted pellon with watered craft paints. I also painted the Tyvek with metallic paint. Let both dry well. Then I randomly cut apart the Tyvek, placed it between 2 pieces of parchment paper and ran a hot iron over it. The hotter the iron gets the more the Tyvek melts. You can see some interesting results. I then glued several of the Tyvek pieces onto the pellon and added a back to the card. Two of the cards I decided to try free motion quilting on top of the Tyvek. It worked wonderfully so I should have done this from the beginning. For safety you should melt the Tyvek outside so any fumes are disapated outside and not in the house.
