This week's destination was China. Since my story involves fashion I looked up facts about Chinese dress.
My postcard is my interpretation of the Chinese clothing called Hanfu. My Hanfu was paper pieced onto a silver paper that looks like a mirror and then matted with black , I embossed the gold pattern onto the paper after cutting out the paper pieces.
Front:
My story continues with Fashion Photographer Zoey being sent to Hong Kong, China and she discusses the fact that China gave the fashion industry the Mandarin collar, frogged fasteners and butterfly buttons. She also discusses the beautiful silk fabrics used in the fashion shoot and even sends Ann a silk Chinese Hanfu. She mentions she is glad to hear that Ann's pregnancy is going well and they plan on meeting up in June.
Back:
I used Chinese translator to print out the word Postcard.
