Ten iPhone 6 Cases Inspired by Traditional Folk Art Embroidery

Just a few weeks ago I made a hand-painted paper collage 'Folk Heart' - a heart shape composed of flowers, inspired by traditional Folk Art embroidery from Eastern Europe.

It didn't take me long to 'create' lots of Folk Heart products for my Zazzle store. Here it is on a cushion/pillow -

Then I went on to make coordinating patterns digitally and soon the products in my 'Folk Heart' collection were growing into the hundreds, thanks to the new product lines that Zazzle introduce most Fridays!

Finally, I put some of the 'Folk Heart' patterns together to form a border - which immediately found its way onto lots of products, such as this Coffee Mug -

My 'Folk Heart' collection on Zazzle has expanded to more than 500 gifts and greeting cards, so if you fancy a browse through all of them, just click HERE!

I've selected the iPhone 6 cases to showcase the various patterns in the collection here. But most of these patterns are available on other Zazzle products, including iPad and Kindle cases and laptop sleeves.

And don't forget that many of them are ready for you to personalize:

A Dozen Hand-painted Paper Collage Christmas Cards

The very first greeting card I ever sold also happened to be my very first attempt at making a hand-painted paper collage!

It had taken me a long time and I had ended up with painted paper all over my kitchen, sticky hands and a very sore back from sitting too long, making sure I cut the shapes accurately! So I was all the more thrilled when sale notification emails just kept rolling into my inbox!

That was five years ago and as I have gradually improved and speeded up what was originally a very tricky and time-consuming process, collage has become possibly my favourite medium for making greeting cards. And each year, I have produced at least one new design.

Here are just a few - beginning with my very first one, maybe a bit ambitious for a beginner but it's very popular!

These are just a few examples of each design but there are lots more in my store, some with non-English greetings or alternative messages, many of them ready for you to personalize.

You can find them all
