COYOTE COLOR

Coyote Greeting Card from the 1980s

 A million years ago, BCPC, (before cheap personal computers), I created handmade greeting cards and sold them in the local flower shop. (Thank you, Jeanne.) One design I always liked was my coyote cutout with the Wichita Mountains in the background.  Maybe I exaggerated the cactus -- we have them, but they aren't the saguaro cacti of Arizona -- but the coyote, the bright sun, and the blue mountains I can see outside my door. I tinted the paper I used for the cutouts with a strong dilution of watercolors.

I thought maybe a scan of the coyote card would translate well to fabric.  I'm still working on it.  I opened a collection on Spoonflower called "Coyote."  You will see designs made from crops of the coyote card, but there is no fabric design with the actual coyote on it yet.  I'm still working on it.

Here is an example of a design I created from a cropped area of my coyote card:

More designs created from the coyote greeting card can be seen at Spoonflower.
