Quite an incredible animation made with tissue paper. Making off (here under) is worth watching also.
6000-7000 lego pieces. 150x40cm.
The end is just beautiful. I can’t imagine how many hours it requires to build this. (Mute the sound, music is loud and inappropriate)
Some of you were asking me questions about my postal drawing experiment and wanted to participate in this project.
The idea is to “make” drawings with the help of the postal service. By folding a piece of white paper with a carbon paper attached to it into a normalized enveloppe using origami instructions (no glue), then posting it by mail.The letter is then processed by the mail service (and its machines) which leaves marks on the paper thanks to the carbon. When the letter arrives at destination (my home), I can unfold it and, if I have any luck, see a beautiful unique abstract drawing.
So here are simple instructions to help me with this:
You will need:
Follow the instructions in the video below to fold the sheet of white paper (don’t fold the carbon paper yet). This design should be straight forward. There is no real measures to follow, so all your letters will be slighly different and unique.
If you are not satisfied with this design or wish to try a different one, you can find some more by following these bookmarks. Though be careful to choose a design that will be accepted by the postal service. It’s worth knowing that sending non normalized letters usually ends up in higher costs.
Since all we want is the drawing made by the postal service, we should write down at this point anything we feel necessary on the enveloppe before adding the carbon paper. So write my address on the front (see picture below)
And add your address on the back (so at least I know who sended it)
If you still want to write stuff on the enveloppe, now is the time.
Unfold the enveloppe completely. Put the carbon paper inside (carbon facing down) and gently fold everything back into an enveloppe.
Add the stamp and post it!
I promise that if I get letters from you, I will send you back one too (so be sure to write down your address). I also promise to scan and post on this blog the best ones I get.
Can’t wait to see your letters in my mailbox.
Fin de la première série de dessins réalisés par service postal.
Commencée le 6/11/2012, une série de 7 enveloppes ont été envoyées et traitées par la poste belge. Ci-dessous, vous trouverez les 4 derniers résultats bruts de scanner (les 3 premiers sont là).
Rappel du principe: pliage d’une feuille de dessin et d’un papier carbone afin d’obtenir une enveloppe normalisée et fermée (sans collage, façon origami). Ajout d’un timbre et d’une adresse. Le processus de transport du courrier par la poste produit le marquage du papier.
J’attends une autre série de 7 en provenance de France. Une autre devrait partir de Nouvelle Zélande début du mois prochain.
Avis: Je suis à la recherche de papier carbone en quantité (et si vous avez d’autres couleurs que le noir, je serais comblé) et de voyageurs intrépides qui seraient prêt à faire un tour au bureau de poste local de leur prochaine destination exotique…
