silk covered holes

Are they still holes if  they are covered? These are sandwiched between the batik covered postcard back and the chiffon overlay. I tried calling it done without stitching, but it needed thread to make the holes pop.

I realized a couple weeks ago that not all these postcards could, in fact, go through the mail without some covering. I loved the fringe along the edges, putting this one firmly in the envelope camp. Some require envelopes, some truly lumpy ones require padded envelopes.

The pre-trip scrimmage continues apace. We have hamster care, extra keys to hand out, a ride to the airport and several eyes on the house. We’re still missing some lawn mowing, and a rental car. Sometime on Saturday my head will pop right off.

My loyal readers do please remember that I will be on vacation, as will the postcards, until I get back in mid-July. All 5 of you!
