This time I just felt like doing something small and fast and spontaneous. When I looked at the photo of flattened prairie points in the course notes they looked like kites to me. So that’s what they became. The background is some fabric that I had already dyed as sky, so that was the starting point. The kites are also all made from my own hand dyed fabrics.
The tails are made from some commercial print fabric that you may recognise from a previous post. It just happened to be lying around on my cutting surface 
I made the strips using one of those nifty bias tape shaping tools. I have to admit to just ironing them down using the glue tape that you can also buy to go with the bias tape maker. The kites are just ironed flat but not sewn down. They are of course sewn into the seam so there was a small amount of stitching going on.
This is so beautifully executed – I shall very much enjoy reading through the rest of your blog!
