Comment by Fleur Helsingor on October 3, 2012 at 4:56am: OK, as promised, here's a look at the postcard that I received yesterday from Amy Irwen. It's a lovely piece, and thanks so much!

It came in a plastic envelope with stitching. Here's the "art side" ...

As you can see, the postcard came in a plastic envelope with stitching. My husband Andrew asked me to open the envelope so that we could see the entire address side ... enjoy!

Comment by Fleur Helsingor on October 3, 2012 at 4:43am: I enjoy yarnbombing too, but it doesn't remain in place very long in my own city. Whenever I see some --- and whenever I have my camera handy --- I take photos so that I have a copy.

I just joined this group, so I should introduce myself. While growing up, I learned how to sew, embroider, knit, and crochet. I also enjoyed fabric painting and designed a lot of the dresses that I wore in high school and for college dances. While I don't do a lot of textile-based mail art these days, I occasionally receive some lovely work and I'd like to share it here.

I'm in the process of scanning a postcard that I received yesterday ... I'll be right back!

Comment by Uncustomary on September 5, 2012 at 11:27pm: Thank you guys! I'm a knitter, and I don't really do any projects right now that aren't specifically for yarnbombing. But I have made scarves and cowls in the past. :-)

Comment by Uncustomary on July 29, 2012 at 6:32pm: It wouldn't take very long if I just sat down and worked on it all at once, maybe like 2-4 days. But I tend to do a little bit each day when I remember to, so it takes a lot longer. :-)
