Item details

A heavyweight, warm white, pearlised A5 (approx 15cm (5 7/8”) x 21cm (8 1/4”)) art card featuring scalloped corners and two love birds carrying a large heart on delicate love strings, with a special message to your loved one written in binary code. Don’t worry the message has been translated for you and is picked out by red holographic hand foiling, in contrast to the binary message which is hand foiled in gold. The large heart is embellished by two tiny vintage red hearts matching the insert and has been hand embossed with contemporary hearts to add a little texture and interest.

Continuing in my theme of science meets art (in this case, computer science) and recycling, I have cut the two love birds from an actual floppy disk that I removed from one of my floppy disk notebooks - I waste nothing! The heart strings are drawn in a ruby red sparkling ink with hand punched detail hinting at the vintage red insert within the card and bringing a little subtle colour to the front of the card. The contrasting blank vintage red insert features a beautiful lacy cut heart edging across the bottom for a little luxury!

Perfect for a variety of occasions including Valentines, Anniversary, a proposal, days where you messed up and are sorry, or any other day you just want to send a special card to a special person in your life, each original art card has been signed by me and is supplied with a heavyweight white envelope, cello wrapped for protection.

Approx. 50% recycled content.

I've always been fascinated by code - from Morse code (which my great uncle, who was a coder in WWII, taught me when I was at primary school) to Braille, Semaphore, the genetic code (which became part of my professional life for several years) and binary.

My husband is a programmer and developer so it seemed a perfect idea to create something in his language and combine my passion for recycled elements - if you look closely you'll notice that the tiny love birds are hand cut from actual vintage floppy disks.
