This is the latest challenge from the Three Muses… yes, it’s that time of the week again! Talk about propitious – I actually have an envelope ready for stuffing, to send off to an arty friend so I feel perfectly justified in entering this gaudy, hurly-burly, padded “Art” envelope!!
My kinda mail...!!
Apart from the Milano postage stamp (by Crafty Individuals), all the other (silhouette) stamps are by Ria Vaneman – the last ones she designed before selling on her artstamp line… I am so lucky to have them! Michelle Ward still has the old scraped paint influence over me at the moment and all the ‘muckiness’ is pure me!!
I received this very arty envelope recently from Bev – and what a beauty it is…
Cutie Patootie!!
How cute is that??? 🙂
"You've got mail!"
That says it all, doesn’t it?!! Wouldn’t it be great if the utilities companies (for instance), got some creative soul – maybe in their offices – to design a more cheerful envelope? It would make receiving the bill itself far more pleasant and we could use the pretty envies in our artwork, making it greener!
Should I email them and suggest myself, d’you think?!! 😉

Nothing to look at on my blog – too much going on, but I hope to get messy and inky in the next week or two.

/ September 22, 2010Hey Rosie – have you noticed that everything Bev does has “attitood”? That’s our Bev.
Seriously, your envelope is gobsmackingly gorgeous – so vibrant and full of colour and, yes, pizzazz. I love it!!
(There is a comment on my blog from “Rosie” but, when I click on it, another person’s blog comes up. I have no idea what is going on there but, if it was you who left the comment I thank you!!).
I envy the lucky person who is going to receive your “eye-full” in the mail.

The one you received is oh so funky! I think you should email the utility companies! Maybe we could get a petition going !!!!!!
Lisa
/ September 22, 2010Definitely need more envelopes like this – I think it could be the new thing and just perfect for brightening up the Royal Mail sorting offices. Won’t they just be chuffed for something more interesting to look at, don’t you think?
