My page from last week on Drawing on Envelopes described a upcoming holiday to London (and Barcelona). I also showed some of my previous drawings on envelopes.
Today’s page is update. It is 10 weeks to go ’til we go on holidays. Each week I am posting my travelling companion (who lives interstate) a letter and drawing on the envelope with London theme. They will know to expect some mail, but always be surprised by what is on the front.
I will put each week here and on my flickr site. This week I wanted something bright and strong. I thought of this straight away!
What will next week be ????
After my last page on drawing on envelopes, I have had wonderful comments from people about the concept of drawing on envelopes and the art of writing letters. Maybe the postal system has received an increase in mail art this week ! A friend also commented on the joy it may bring to a mail workers day .
By co-incidence I found my Australia to UK travel adaptor in the cupboard last night .So I drew it . That counts as trip prep too !
Watercolour pencil in Moleskine watercolour sketchbook. This took about half and hour, while the television was on in the background.
