How strange an envelope..just sitting here..

Here are some more envelopes from my wanderings...

Boots, Aberdeen

I went straight for the make-up section and then because I like Soap and Glory (It smells amazing) and because it was quiet there at that point in time, I popped this big happy smiley waving envelope in amongst their lip balm. I think this one fitted perfectly here seeing as their cover images are all black and white and smiley too.

Bon Accord Centre Toilets, Aberdeen

Originally I was going to leave this one by the sinks, then common sense kicked in and I realised that it would probably get soaked before it was read if I left it there..I then tried putting it on the toilet roll holder, then I thought if I left it there it would probably get knocked off and disappear under the door or sides..finally I noticed these toilets have lids (duh) and where better to put it, it'll get seen straight away and more likely picked up then knocked off!

Schoolhill Bus stop (9), Aberdeen

I chose a bus stop for this one because on it are two clementines (with hello written on them) and I thought that clementines would be something you might see at a bus stop...

Amongst the popcorn...

Another one of my wee envelopes left amongs the popcorn in Blockbuster. I think a few people saw it while I was there but I didn't see anyone pick it up..hopefully soon though..

That is actually a photocopy of a card not a really a card stuck to the envelope...pretty good photocopy though eh?

Positive Greeting

Here's the newest of the latest series of envelopes making their way through the postal system. For those who are wondering, yup that is my hand and yes I drew on it and it. I enjoy the aesthetic of the photocopied image, espeically when it comes to photocopying body parts - minds out of the gutter please. I think this may be the happiest envelope I have made so far, it even makes me smile looking at it now despite the fact that I've spent most of the day looking at it! I really really hope that whoever recieves this loves it too. 

As you can see I've made this one portrait rather than landscape but I reckon it works better seeing as it's a wave and all! :) I think choosing to use a yellow envelopes adds to the happy vibe of the whole envelope. Like I said I think this is the happiest envelope yet!

Fun with photocopies..

These latest idea's were born partly through sheer frustration and getting inspiration from writing: 'I <3 You' on a banana and sending a pictute of it to my boyfriend. All but one are personal to myself as always..the banana, well that was just for fun :) 

You can only just see it but in the centre of the mug it says: 'Hi'. 

Unfortunately because scanning a photocopy doesn't work so well you can't read it here but the tag says: 'I love to read fantasy novels about magicians and other worlds...what do you love read?'.

Like I said this one was just for fun, sticking the banana on upside down was a happy accident that I reckoned fitted in pretty well with the vibe of this envelope.

If I'm honest I'm not really sure I like this one but it might be odd enough to provoke a reaction.

Marrying text and image.

So I decided that the things I have been sending out are getting a bit too serious and not very personal. So I decided to add a little more of myself to the envelopes. Both of these pieces are photocopies of my hand...in what I hope is a handshake position - not an easy position to get your arm into in a photocopier believe me!

With the above piece I decided to include a letter, which you can see below. I decided to keep it anonymous the same as all the other pieces, perhaps just to make the recipient curious.

Now before any of you start thinking I've stopped making each piece an individual original (that's a mouthfull), think again, although this looks similar to the above one it is different, that is even a seperate (and slightly different) photocopy of my hand. 

I reckoned this one needed something more so I put a message on the back to but no message inside. I think sometimes less is more. 

However both of course were sent with a self addressed envelope inside...*fingers crossed* someone's curious enough to reply!
