Postmark from Ukraine

With great pleasure I accepted an invitation to the IMQE project from a master from the city with the beautiful name Sweet Home, Oregon. In the course of active correspondence we realized that we have much in common. It is a love of nature, constant learning, love of art and hand sewing. For several days we were looking for a topic and my partner suggested the idea of a postage stamp, I gladly supported it. The search for the plot of the postage stamp began. The decision came unexpectedly. My hobby- antiques (porcelain, sewing machines, thimbles, postcards). I often look at antiques with a magnifying glass in my hands. This moment was included in the work. From the windows of my house there is a beautiful view of the high right bank of the Dnieper, where there is an ancient and beautiful place in the capital of Ukraine - the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra with golden domes, temples and bell tower. This form became a picture for a postage stamp. A lot of sketches and drawings were made. The technician of the performance is a manual and machine applique and a stitch, as well as embroidery. This is my debut in international exchange. From Peggy Schroeder I learned a lot about the life of the quilt masters in America. Thequiltshow.com site is now daily in my attention. I really hope that our postage stamps will link two addresses.
