postcards
Recently I received a random postcard from a member of a yahoo postcard group I am a member of and the policy is to make one and send one in return so yesterday I got down to business and made a postcard , well I actually made two since I was in the business ;-)
The selvage postcard on the left is the one being sent to the random swapper , a fun way to use some of those colorful selvages . The one on the right just happened , I was tidying up my shelf on my cabinet and came cross the batik , it was a strip left over from another project and I thought it would make pretty hearts , then I spotted the mottled hand dyed fabric a small piece I had for a while and was looking to be used so I cut that and the hearts but something was missing and I remembered having these little doilies so grabbed one and cut in half and voila , a dainty little postcard ready to mail. I really do enjoy making postcards and each one gets a little easier and I have learned a few tricks to make the process go quicker with better results .
