Changing stripes

3 inch Sotich Shield, striped cocktail napkin.

A couple days ago I felt a strong desire to stop off at the local Dollar Tree store, anybody else ever have that feeling?

There’s just something specialĀ  to me about some stores. For me it’s been fabric, craft, hardware, office supplies stores, and now (that I’m making enough miniature kites to choke a horse) you can add party supplies stores to that list .

While there I found a couple new and exciting cocktail napkin prints. I’m sure I’ll get back to having fun with the 3-stick designs, but I wanted to make a straight-forward design with this striped one first.

Also, I’m getting closer to being ready to mail these out to festivals as raffle items or door-prizes, I might even use some as greeting cards (or God forbid Christmas cards). The picture above has the kite hanging on an easel card that will fit nicely in in A-2 envelope, with plenty of room for writing if used as a greeting card, a canvas textured card if the recipient wants to display the kite without embellishment, and still some room if any one wants to add stickers ( I think puffy clouds would look neat). I’m excited about getting the detail s nailed down so I can clear some of these kites out and make room to make more of them.

Miniature dinosaurs.

While I was prepping this post, my youngest son came in with his toys, and said that I needed to take a picture of his dinosaurs fighting. Do miniature dinosaurs go well with miniature kites?
