There's something about symmetrical designs that really captivate me. For all their simplicity, I can stare at them endlessly, getting lost in their replicating patterns. I spent my Winter break creating dozens of different symmetrical designs, chose my favorite ones, and turned them into silkscreen prints. The process of repeatedly printing symmetrical designs was very hypnotic. Here are some details about the cards: I used the iOS app iOrnament to create the symmetrical designs. I exported the images into Adobe Illustrator for further refinement. I then exported the files to my Silhouette Cameo cutting machine which I used to create vinyl stencils. I adhered these stencils to my silkscreen and printed multiple copies on heavy-weight cotton paper. Each design is a two-color print - black and red on white stock. I then cut the prints into 4-inch squares and mounted them on black card stock. Finally, I used my Cameo to cut out custom card blanks, piercing them with a single element of the replicating pattern from each print. Each card measures approximately 5x7 inches, includes a 4-inch hand-screened symmetrical print and a matching piercing. The cards are made from 110 pound bright white paper and are perforated at the fold for easy framing. This listing is for a set of eight cards (all different designs) and plain white envelopes. I hope you enjoy sending the cards as much as I enjoyed making them.
