Wow! hrdoktorx Is the souvenir sheet actually printed on silk? The embroidery stitches almost look real! Beautiful! Japanese and Chinese silk embroidery are exquisite examples of this art. Yes, the souvenir sheets are indeed printed on silk. The scan does make it show a little bit, and they also have a very nice texture to the touch. |

PostAG issued in 2021 a mask-shaped fabric stamp made of materials that are used for mask production in Europe: 'Two layers of fleece were embroidered in the form of an FFP2 mask and then cut out with laser technology, the loose loops were also embroidered and attached to it'. It's a timely reminder of the COVID-19 pandemic.   |
