Right before I sprained my ankle last week (ant it's totally healed now) I had started to make these postcards. We've had a lot of Airbnb guests this summer and I'm going through them pretty quickly. I wanted to make some really simple and quick cards. I remembered the Shibori Sunset cards that I made a few years ago. It just so happens that I have a big bin of shibori scrraps and another big bin of fused hand dyed scraps. I found a light blue pre-fused fora sky and blue shibori for the sea. I didn't take any process photos but this is pretty easy to figure out! It's sky fabric, water fabric and a piece of yarn for the horizon. They needed a little something else so each one got a little bird just drawn on with a Pigma pen.
I got the fusing done before my ankle hiatus and just finished the edging. The bins are still out so I think I'll see if I can create some more of these easy landscapes before I put everything away.

The perfect way to use these scraps. And yarn for the horizon is just what it needed. Glad to hear your ankle is healed:) 7/12/2019 08:27:33 am
How simple but elegant. I love the use of the shibori for water, it works so well.

Sometimes the simplest things are the best. The bird is the perfect touch too! (glad your ankle is better!). Comments are closed.
