this envelope was Best of Show in the 2002 graceful envelope contest.
http://www.calligraphersguild.org/envelope.html
read all about the contest at the link above. the theme for 2013 is *A World of Change*
the theme in 2002 was *The Written Word* - so carol wrote the word *words* a gazillion times. you could adopt this idea for an envelope by writing the person's name over and over and then applying stamps and a mailing label.
carol said:
When you write the word "words" over and over without spacing it begins
to read "word sword word sword" which is a fun play on the quote: The
pen is mightier than the sword. I don't know if anyone catches that
trick…but it was fun for me to employ it on this entry.
