Mixed Media

I saw the coolest thing this week: an embroidered business card. On the one side was the embroidery - geometric shapes and some pearls, quite peaceful and pleasant. It was created by my friend's grandmother - 83 years old - who used to do embroidered Christmas cards in the same way. The business card is thick; on the side where the name and coordinates appear, there is no embroidery. The embroidery and card are stiched together. My friend said that it is a way to sample your wares amongst embroiderers. I wonder if quiltmakers do something similar... I looked up "embroidery" and "business card" on the Web but found no useful sites. I wondered if there would be collectibles. I had never seen something so intriguing. It certainly makes the business cards I have seen quite... flat.
