Insects part 1




Jean and Jan ran an envelope exchange in May.

 I had picked up a couple of cheap calendars in February for potential envelope making. This set is from a Christopher Morley calendar, and I splurged on the Insects and Spiders stamps to match. The back of the envelopes also turned out well, so I scanned those too.

To Kate

To Jan

To Carroll


To Jack

And one to Eric, where I did something a little different in order to accommodate the four stamps needed for international mail.

      I really enjoyed putting this set together, so it is great to hear you enjoyed it so much. And this set of stamps is really special, I think.

      Based on the responses from the recipients, it was worth it.

    The bugs are beautiful! Like gems with legs. I cannot bring myself to use my insect stamps. Yet. Perhaps when I am 99.

      I know what you mean, but I needed something to accompany the envelopes, and these were perfect.
