Feed your inner artist. “They” always tell you that. Go look at stuff that is interesting and makes you happy, or is along the lines of what you do, or wish you did. So I did, and found this postcard waiting for me after pages of irritation and feeling insufficient. Roughly pieced background, cut silk leaf, heavily embroidered. I think I’ve got something interesting, but I wish I could make the edges fluffier.

Maybe I’ll stick the hamster to it. She’s fluffy enough for any three postcards.

No, no, I wouldn’t really do that.

But I might shear the hamster and felt the fluff into something interesting. And microscopic.
