outgoing

The amount of mail I send and receive is far greater than the bits and pieces I have time to photograph for my blog, but some projects I can't help but snap before they're destined for far away places. These recent letters to Emma (England) and Michelle (Australia) were two that I had a lot of fun putting together. 

I love Sky Ferreria's music and style, hence her adorning of the pink envelope I designed to be included in Michelle's forthcoming book about snail mail!

I've been harvesting various books for botanical illustrations like these on an envelope for Jess. Even the notoriously grumpy lady at my post office liked this one.

I was very happy to get my hands on some of these vintage stamp packs from Jaime. Each one contains enough postage to send a letter within Canada. How sweet is this idea?!

Another of my recent finds was this book of postcards featuring Yoshitomo Nara's illustrations from Value Village (giant thrift store) of all places. If you're on my pen pal list, expect to receive one of these soon.
