Before I get to the card for Merethis, let's take a look at the shawl I bought The Volkert.
It's a 100% cotton 60" x 80" jacquard woven tapestry from personalthrows.com.
It is so pretty!!
And it has a rainbow fringe!!
And my favorite Tenniel drawing. I'm in love.
Meanwhile, this is what Merethis looked like at the party.
But my Cheshire had lamented that I had thrown away my last handmade hat card!
Then last night, Milli told me she missed my handmade hat card, too.
So that was enough to get me going.
So I printed it again.
Then I stained it with a layer of brown food coloring with water.
Then I stained it with a layer of black food coloring with water.
Then I washed it out with water and baked it to dry.
Then I colored in the printing with some inky black markers.
Then I trimmed it down and burned the edges with a lighter.
I glued it to a backing card to make it stronger and glazed it three times.
Finally, I painted the edges in black acrylic paint.
And it turned out like this.
Merethis & Me
