Just because


Another blog which I love following is Old Paper Art. Mail art is a lost art form, or maybe better termed as a rare art form. Mr Cachet shows us envelopes he has adorned with his art spanning many years, over 50 I believe! I am so impressed not only with the history and the stories related to his well preserved collection but his love for correspondence in general as well.

On my walk back from the post office yesterday I was inspired to create him an envelope calligram of sorts. I'm really starting to enjoy these tailored made calligram designs. Why do I do it you may ask?

Just because.

Cool! How generous and nice of Mr Cachet to respond on your blog! Used to be that many people decorated their envelopes and letters in the mailbox were not so unusual. I never get the same rush from an email that I do with a snail mail letter!

BTW, Dann answered your question about the music computer program, etc, on my blog! He thinks your son will love this!
