someday when i have more time i will have more to say about this envelope. i usually have just 3 things going on with a design. it's a tried and true formula. not etched in stone, just something that works for me. this one clearly has more than three things going on and yet, there is a reason that it is not a hot mess. but, it would take time for me to figure out how to talk about it in a way that would be helpful to anyone who wants to try this style. if anyone wants to submit a guest post, i will be happy to insert another post about it.
having guest posts is a really good idea. i hope i get some takers on this idea....i suspect there are some closet teachers out there. send your comments to me at my email if you wish to remain anonymous. jmwilson411 [at] yahoo [dot] com
if you just want to say you like it....go ahead an put that in the comments :-)
I like it! Why did she write the zip twice?
ReplyDeleteIs that Smash trying her hand at faux postage? Brava!
ReplyDeletei don't know why she wrote the zip code twice, but now i have 23 ideas on writing multiples. i love the blog when there is conversation. thank you for commenting :-)
ReplyDeleteAs the creator of the hot mess and in its defense I must say that the eye does move through the envelope in a sane fashion but becomes schizophrenic in its content. Don't you love the bike path, the new stamp, the double zip? My biggest problem with this envelope is the N in Wilson which there is no defense for.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see some of those ideas for multiples. I like it when the creators comment on their envelopes and give us a little tour through their thoughts. I enjoy your comments about your envelopes, Jean, just as much as the envelopes themselves.
