The second Postal Patchwork experiment:
I’m loving the way the colours play against each other when the halved stamps are realigned with their mismatched partners!
I’ve sketched out lots of sample patterns, and have found myself far happier with designs measuring 4 x 4 stamps rather than 3 x 3 (or 3 x 4), due to the 4-way (and/or symmetrical) nature of this type of geometric patchwork pattern.
My head is buzzing with ideas but I will have to be patient until I have the stretch of time available to put them into action…
Lots of fun stuff happening on your blog. I like the woven postcards and the quilty one in this post. very unique. This year I am focused on making fabric postcards and am featuring them on one of my blogs, Send a postcard a week. http://sendapostcardaweek.blogspot.ca/
I’ll be back to visit and see what else you get up to.
Thanks Heather. 🙂 I’ve definitely been having a very mail-arty few months! Good luck with your fabric postcard project. 🙂
Thank you for sharing this! It is wonderful to see a new upcycling idea develop. The pinwheel came out beautifully.
Thank you! I’ve done a few more trials over the last couple of days, which I’ll be blogging shortly…
