I'm wondering how much postcard aggravation was due to feeling profoundly stressed for time. I have more time to experiment these last couple days, and I feel much happier about the results.

For this one I ironed the stencil on the back of the fabric and made a rubbing of it. Twice. The dark green and lighter green dye sticks (from Pentel I think) soak into the fabric when ironed. I liked starting with the bright fabric and darkening the edges.

So - how much cheating is it if I have a couple postcards mostly made for the couple days I'll be gone? Not quite completed, but a series of ideas ready to finish and photograph on the road. My game, my rules, I know, but I'm just polling.
