karyn,

thanks for the word-spreading. i have been happily overwhelmed with replies from all over the world (i think i may hit 100! …at which point, i may have to stop handing out free things.)

rest assured that i will be back in toronto and working on this project on the big workroom table before you can even take a breath.

I’ve been doing it by hand because I’ve been working on small pieces. It’s really fun!

charlotte – do they look much different? the envelopes, i mean, not the bills. i imagine the bills look just the same as ours – horrifying.

rachel – speaking of wallpaper, i’d love to see it as wallpaper for a room!

sarah – oh, paper embroidery sounds like lots of fun. do you do it by hand or on the sewing machine?

willa – i’ve heard of that, but never tried it. it seem like the kind of thing that might take some practice. i will try it with today’s mail.

funny. I turn mine inside out and reuse them for letters. it’s a tiny bit of effort for a big pay off.

Aren’t these the best?! I’ve been cutting some up for paper embroidery projects, they are awesome!

I just tossed an envelope that I thought would make a cool desktop wallpaper. Off to see what other patterns I can find in the stack of mail.

They’re awesome! I’m totally sending in some envelopes when I get back to New Zealand…I may even have some lying around here in Canadaland from pesky Bank of New Zealand visa bills…
