This
is my first attempt at making a fabric postcard, a
project inspired by the very talented, mix media
artist I interviewed today for an upcoming craft
column. I plan to reveal her identity and post
instructions to make a postcard of your own soon, so
check back here often.
I try out all the projects I write about because I
want to be able to write directions with some measure
of authority and make sure I can field reader
questions. So today, I watched the artist make a
postcard, then I went home and tried to make one
myself without any assistance. I think my second
fabric postcard will be better, but I'm pleased with
the result. It would be cool to get one of these in
the mail. I've always loved receiving letters and
postcards from interesting people and would
especially love fabric mail. I should join a swap.
The
card was created this evening when I should have been
washing dishes. Ah well, the dishes will still be
there in the morning. Perhaps the fact that I used a
print of a woman doing yoga is a sign that I need to
get back to class. I miss that zen.
