4/6/2024 0 Comments The envelopes pleaseThis year my envelopes are designed around the Post Office’s “scratch and sniff” stamps with 2 popsicles on each one. The envelopes I sent in 2017 were based on stamps that showcased various Hispanic foods. I often use the stamp as a “jump-off” point for my designs. It is a fun way to share calligraphic skills and artistic inspiration. Calligraphers especially seem to relish this creative opportunity. The envelopes can be simple or elaborate but each is a delightful work of art. Over the year each person sends an envelope to each name on the list in which they are included. The list of those who sign up to participate is organized into groups of 6 to 8 people per list. Some sign up to be part of the exchange of decorated envelopes over the months between conferences. The participants in the Decorated Envelope Exchange attend the annual Letters of Joy (LOJ) Calligraphy conference in early May. ( ) This calligraphy guild is in Western Washington and has members from all over the northern West Coast. This week I have been making a fresh set of 14 decorated envelopes because I am the organizer of the annual Decorated Envelope Exchange for Write On Calligraphers. Have you ever received a decorated envelope?
