29/29: #101 to Jean

One of the originals

Accompanied by Gregory Peck

And the 29th, and final, back

Envelope 211 - Living Room

The F&F postcards are really supposed to be sent through the mail naked, however as I have a lot of envelopes at hand, and Jan's faux stamp is made from thick, stiff card, I decided to send it to Sandra in this envelope. The scans really do not do this one justice - my apologies.

The clean lines made me think of the industrial design stamps - I don't have many of these left and they are no longer for sale, so it is hard to see them go one by one.

Address in grey.

And the back.

27/29: #134 to Karen Y

How could you not like an envelope with Weird Al on it?

Not to mention bonus weird person in the flap

Completing a trio of Johnny Cash

And the back

Vintage Jean

Jean was in desk-clearing mode when she sent this.

I like the vintage stamps and the vertical address.

29 faces in september part VIII: envelopes 143, 299 & 294

22/29: #143 to Care

They didn't seem that into each other anyway

And the back

29 faces in september part VII: envelopes 150, 120 & 246

19/29: #150 to honi c

Honi C sends me bonus mail every once in a while. The odd scanner effect adds to the mystery of this image (for a change).

Johnny on the brain.

The back.

20/29: #120 to Lettres et Images

This is the youngest of the original set (it's still over 20 years old)

I like the global + Lincoln combo for the vertical address.

And the back.

21/29: #246 to jazzie

I forgot to scan this one with the flap up.

Improving the composition to a grouping of three, and using purple for the address.

Fab packet from Pamela

Over at MMSA, Pamela had admired the black and white flower faux postage, so I sent her a set.

She sent me this great collection of goodies.

The envelope.

The card inside.

And inside an envelope inside the card... a minizine, a mail art business card, another envelope with 3 fantastic artistamps.  Thank you!

29 faces in september part VI: envelopes 381, 359 &198

16/29: # 381 to Currie

There were several candidate stamps for this one, however I really liked the circus stamp. I've had a hard time using them as they tend to be quite dominant on an envelope (plus the large ones are extra large).

The back

17/29: #359 to Cathy

If only I had one of the Star Wars stamps for this one. I do like the smile on Gwendolyn Brook's face on this stamp.

The back.

18/29: #198 for Rose

Sometimes the scanner doesn't do so well with white edges.

The first appearance of Miles Davis on the blog, I think.

And the back.
