Sam sent me two of the Gee's Bend quilt stamps and asked me to make an envelope using them. She probably intended for me to use both on one envelope - which I could have done. But, I was having trouble figuring out what to do.
Then I filled my really wide Copic marker and was having all kinds of fun with it. I liked the top one a lot. But, I wanted to try a version with the name larger.
Now I want to do one more version with two stamps. I did not affix the stamps to the envelopes. If Sam wants an envelope to go through the mail, she may return the stamps to me and I will do the final version. But, it will be along these lines.
If she is disappointed in the style I chose - she should just say so. I realize that this is wacky.
Warning: there will be more. I became fascinated with this method of making names. I can't call it writing. It is definitely a building process. And -yes- I did leave the H out of Nashua. But, I thought the visual interest created when I layered it into the U was a much needed detail.
upon 2nd glance, i do like the top lettering better than the bottom as its a bit less wonky. however, i do like my 'lope space filled....so if u can use the top style & just make it bigger, even with "regular" address, I'm good.
