Hemp is in the spotlight this week, because it reminds me of my Grandma.
You can find the tutorial here, and if you’re interested in the story then read on.
Grandma had a wooden puzzle/pattern thing (I really don’t know the technical term) made of triangles and diamonds in bright primary colours. I spent hours and hours sitting on the floor, shuffling those shapes around to make different patterns.
My favourite was putting all the red diamonds together to make a 6-pointed star, and filling in the space between the points with blue and yellow triangles.
As soon as I saw Hemp, it brought back those memories in full technicolour. Hopefully my cards using Hemp will go to people making new memories of their special days.
What do you think of Hemp? Anyone know the puzzle/pattern things I’m talking about? Let me know in the comments!

if it’s what I think it is, the “technical” term is wooden mosaic puzzle…. or at least that’s what the box, I bought as a present for my niece few months ago, said 😊

I’ve definitely had one of those puzzles when I was younger! I love this pattern, it could look so different depending on where you put the colours

I’ve not heard of the game either, but I love things which bring back memories. This would keep me occupied for ages, making pictures

❤ hemp! Don't know about the puzzle pieces, but have you ever heard of Altair Designs? They are books with geometric drawings that you can create a multitude of patterns with color. Your are more simple, but work on the same theory. Great tool! I usually am inspired by colors I seen in nature…just sayin'!
