Those are simply wonderful!
Are they "found relatives" or honestly your relatives in the photos?

Just amazing Christy! Gorgeous fabric scraps. I am really drawn to the bottom right with the reds and black. It looks like you wove the fabric.

They came from a Tim Holtz deck of cards that I stumbled upon at Joann's. Called Found Relatives and continues 24 different vintage images relocating photos.

I did weave a dryer sheet that I painted. After it dried I cut it into strips, wove it then added as a design element.

Okay, that really blows me away that those gorgeous red "fabrics" are dryer sheets. Fantastic.
