There are lots of examples of Jeri's work on the blog. She often does very tiny lettering, which I always love. This one is stellar because the shape of the name and address is a subtle echo of the shape of the skull. Most of Jeri's envelopes end up in my all-time-favorite file - and this one will. I even love that the Day of the Dead stamp worked so well for a holiday mailing.
From a design standpoint, I can see how some people would not love the amount of open space there is on this one. I, however, love it. Even the shapes on the cancel work nicely. It's nice that the skull did not get smudged.
I finally got around to buying some of these stamps and am feeling inspired to get back to mail art.
