A while back, at Hamilton Island (above), I made a bright, beady sun-catcher. Unfortunately, my craftin mojo departed shortly thereafter, and the accompanying card never got made. So the sun-catcher has been sitting in its box, not catching any sun at all. That's a pretty poopy situation methinks!
So on Saturday, with my craft supplies already out and littering every surface in the saloon anyway, I resolved to get the matching card finished, so the poor little sun-catcher could be released from its box. As I mentioned in my previous post, I've got Reverse Applique on the brain, so I fooled around for a bit, and this is what I came up with...
As you can see, I chose the card colours to match those of the lampwork beads (made by Sari of Gaialai on Etsy)...
The colours in these beads (and the stripes and dots too) remind me of the Clown Anenome Fish that we kept bumping into on The Great Barrier Reef.
...well, its a pretty loose association, but you get my drift?

Wow! What an idyllic place to spend your days. I'm lovin' this reverse appliqué technique and your gorgeous bead work.
Those beads are an awesome match for those cutie clown aneome's. Loving all the cloud work on your card - I can just imagine thats what you might see looking up from the boat sometimes :)
