It's been a cold, wet week and I needed to play with bright colors. I've had the image of the girl in the flower dress for a long time and I'd like to own a dress like that ... long and lightweight with loose strands of flowers. I am way too old to carry off such a look, but sometimes I think I don't care.
I love all the postcard weaves I see on MailArt365 so I thought I'd try a partial weave, just the skirt into the lemon. I wish I had cut the skirt and lemon on a diagonal rather than straight across, but I like the idea of breaking into a weave. I tried a different version of that on this postcard I made for a Swap-Bot exchange.
This is Postcrossing US-984362 and on its way to Australia today. I was very lucky to pull the address of someone who encourages handmade yesterday!

Thank you, Elena! I hope the Postcrosser feels the same.

I really like this one. Very pretty. I have an idea for a weave to try but need to find the right image first.
