This morning I read Carol’s Extreme Cards and Papercrafting http://extremecards.blogspot.com/about woven QR code and I just had to make a woven heart in the same style. The pattern for weaving is generated using the QR code platform http://qrcode.good-survey.com/. A simple message requires a 25 x 25 matrix. I made a pattern fitting an A4 sheet and I think it is about the most narrow strips any normal weaver may like to handle. I would not say the heart is pretty. But it is fun that the heart includes a secret message. Anna tested the heart with her bar code reader – and it works.
And a file for cutting heart 038 cut
I remember these in Kentish town, but the barcodes are new!
Beautiful work, well done!
Thank you Bin. Anna showed me a picture taken at Falkland Road last week. They are still in place.

this is AWESOME! I may have to learn how to make a woven heart and then do a few of these for friends and family *grin* secret messages rock
I’ve seen this barcode heart and decided it would be the best present for my boyfriend for St.Valentine- he is IT guy.
I’d say the most difficult part was to cut it, as I don’t have the cutting machine… The work itself was interesting and in the end I couldn’t wait to finish it and try how the ‘secret’ message works.
And it works!!! Thank you Papermatrix!
Can’t wait till February 14th to show him my present
