The color prompt for April for Arts in the Cards ATC trade was "poppies". One of my favorite flowers that come in so many wonderful colors. I love my adopted state of California and the poppies that cover the hills in spring. In a good year (poppies are very sensitive to weather conditions), there can be an amazing display of poppies and lupine, orange and purple. There is even a California Poppy Preserve near Lancaster, CA.
Because I have been traveling in our Minnie Winnie, my art supplies are pretty limited. While washing dishes with these really nice pre-soaped Palmolive dish wipes, I realized that the spongy texture would work well for a felting background. It also had a dreamy turquoise color. So when I happened on a Fiber Arts show in Montgomery, Ala, I bought a couple of felting needles and foam, merino wool roving and set to work on my ATCs. It was lots of fun doing the lap work while motoring through this beautiful country.
