HANDS KNIT No. 1 Composite Collage Set of 5 Note Cards w Patterned Envelopes from kNotes for kNitters

Description

From my kNotes for kNitters© series of collages, ruminations on the theme of kNitting in particular, and Fiber Arts in general ... this is "Hands/Knit #1".

As I knit, I look down at my hands moving, the amazing grace of muscle memory, and think about the millions of hands of other women, who have knit, patiently, joyously, over hundreds of years past.

This collage design honors those hands past, craft connected-ness, and the Art of Knitting "handed" down from one pair of hands to the next.

Each pair of hands in my collage is "real", and came from a vintage photograph or postcard. One pair of hands shown belonged to Queen Victoria! I'll leave you to guess which. (Email me if you'd like a clue.)

How I Make Them

For the cards, I have my digital collage design professionally printed in full color on heavyweight 110-lb. card stock, using permanent, archival inks and a glossy finish. (Professional printing gives me the depth of photographic detail I want.)

I print my matching design monochromatically on the textured brown envelopes myself. Even better, the envelope paper is recycled, 100% PCW.

Item Description

This listing is a set of 5 Folded Note Cards, size A2, measuring 5-1/2 x 4-1/4 inches when folded, with 5 matching brown envelopes, imprinted with a complementary design.

Inside each card is blank, leaving plenty of room for your own personal, any occasion communiques.

Alternate Formats

I also make this collage design as:

~ Postcards

~ Gift / Fiber Care Tags

~ Large poster

~ Refrigerator magnets, large or small

If you'd prefer one of these alternate formats and it's not already listed in my Store, just email me & I'll be happy to list it for you.

Thanks for stopping by!
