Abby Blaine, of Port Angeles, left, and Lauren Churchill of Sequim, design their own cards at the Irrigation Festival’s booth at the Innovative Arts and Crafts Fair. Each card helps recreate a portion of this year’s poster designed by Laura Friedkin. The idea was developed by festival volunteer Jean Wyatt, and the cards will likely go up in the Sequim Civic Center in June, organizers said.
