Fabric Postcard #2

June 21, 2005

Dscn1052

I’m practicing embroidery stitches. For this postcard I chose an image from my book of Japanese Family Crests, modified it and drew it on some white canvas leftover from our wedding chuppah. I love the crazy black and transparent button on the top right corner. The back, which isn’t pictured, is green and white floral fabric from a thrifted napkin.

We are getting ready to go on vacation to my parent’s beach house in South Bethany. I’m already having both crafting and blogging withdrawal, but hopefully the sun and sea and building sand castles with the baby will be enough of a distraction.

    Your embroidery is beautiful! I can only do a few stitches, your idea of practicing on cards is a great one. I just ordered that Japanese Crests book, still waiting for it to arrive. Have fun at the beach, it sounds wonderful.
