I am such a scatter brain sometimes.I wanted to make sure that I got my letters posted in a timely fashion, so I dashed off to the P.O. with a stack, mailed them and then realised I hadn't photographed them. Sigh... I am posting a couple that I have recently worked on and did remember to photograph. I have more that I am working on and I will post them when I'm finished.
I used one of Patty's handmade envelopes, made from Laura Ashley wallpaper for this letter.
The envelope for this letter was originally sent to me by Hester in Boston. When I saw the envelope it made me think about the children's book "Where the Wild Things Are". I happened to have an old beat up copy of the book that I got from Goodwill some time ago, so I decided to use some of the elements from the book to decorate the envelope and send it on.
This is the back of the envelope. This "Wild Thing" is one of my favorites from the book.
This postcard is made from one of my original collages. I added some 3-D elements to a print of the collage and made it into a postcard.
I thought it would be fun to add my most recent artistamp and some other "Steampunky" elements.
There are more coming... and if you are fond of chocolate, leave me a comment and I will send you an Ode to Chocolate postcard. See you in the mail!
Who doesn't love chocolate? I'd love to get an Ode to Chocolate postcard. I'll send you a postcard with my address on it!
ReplyDeleteI love the "Where the Wild Things Are" envelope, it's just awesome! :)
ReplyDeleteHello Elle! I am so glad to see my envelope arrived. The butterflies look so pretty, I have a letter to write and now I feel inspired to use my stash of butterflies again. I also started my tomatoe seeds a few days ago!Hope all is well with you and yours
ReplyDeleteHi Elle. Glad to see my letter arrived. The butterflies look so pretty, I have a letter to go out and was just in process of looking for an envelope and now I feel inspired to get out my butterfly stash again. I also planted tomatoe seeds a few days ago! Hope all is well with you and yours.
ReplyDeleteInspiring, Elle! Thanks.
