Textile Postrcard Project Week #68

Giraffe print

January 13th - 19th 2019

Currently we are holidaying in South Africa where we enjoyed a wonderful few days in the Pilansberg National Park staying at the Olive Tree Lodge. We were delighted to have five 2 hour excursions into the Game Park. The animal I most wanted to see was a giraffe. Yes, they are magnificent creatures.
 A few years ago I made a rubber stamp of a giraffe. I have used a print from this stamp to make an image for the current postcard. (Of course they look much better in real life!!) I have printed the image on hand dyed cotton  fabric and stitched the edge with a variegated rayon thread.
