    I need to know more about this envelope. Did Finn marbleize this paper and make the envelope? Good job, very pretty

    Hi, Smash. This is an envelope made from a glossy magazine's fashion page - you can see the outline of the left arm coming down from the flap and going behind the stamp.

    Believe me, I do not have the skills/talent to marbelize paper... but I am glad you found it convincing.

    Of the envelopes I've sent to Jean this was not one of my personal favorites, maybe because I didn't like the stamp on there as much as I thought I would. Perhaps it would have looked better with the $1 waves of color stamp? Would that be too many waves?

    I do think the heavy machine frank does a good job of obscuring the stamp details somewhat and maybe switching the focus back to the envelope. Thanks, Mail Sorting Machinery!

    i agree with finnbadger that this is not a *favorite.* it's fine. the pink and blue stamp is tough one. maybe the stamp needed to be placed on the part of the pink that was closer to the stamp's pink. the upper right hand corner is so peachy. i'd be curious to see if just moving the stamp would solve the problem. it is on my migwatt list.
