A card for Pat, who lost her brother a few weeks ago. He was Cindy Motherway's husband. Cards from the teapotters go out to Cindy and Pat this week. The title refers not only to Pat's brother's death, but also to the fact that the iris folded piece was lost under all my crafting junk on my dining room table for a long time and I just found it back yesterday, added the body of the dragonfly and a sentiment and it is ready for Pat.

That iris-folding is beautiful! It's been a while since I've done it - and DH still has a kit he bought downstairs that he won't let me give away even though he's never used it. I love the added Stickles around the edges of the wings, and the shimmering centre. Amazing that this has come from an old calendar.

Beautiful iris folding, Ina. I would never attempt such a thing. You're a brave crafter. Your card is really lovely with the folding and nature's colors. Who wouldn't love to receive this gorgeous card despite the sad circumstances. I'm jealous you know that you were in Rochester. Bummer for me. One day I'm going to have to make it there!
