Dragonfly postcard

Work has resumed in our kitchen with the partial installation of the countertops. The bar top was measured wrong so it's being remade and should be here next week. Meanwhile we will march forward and have the backsplash tile done this weekend. By next weekend we should be back in business!

Meanwhile I know that Spring is coming because our Airbnb activity has picked up. I had 2 guests this week and I give them fabric postcards. My stash of cards is dwindling so it was time to get busy and make more. It was also the perfect thing to do while the kitchen work was going on yesterday.

I have stacks of postcard size pieces that I have sunprinted and screen printed and this is one of my favorites.

I printed these on a waste fabric from my Southwest Gradient.The dandelion was screened twice, once in dark green and then the tips in bright green. After that dried I added the purple dragonfly. I had not done anything with these because I couldn't figure out what kind of stitching to add. 

It took me long enough but it finally hit me that it didn't need stitching at all. One little crystal was just enough.

A purple edge, to match the dragonfly, finished it off perfectly.

I made 7 of these and they are the first cards of 2019.
