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.

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.
