At the end of my Nov-Dec envelopes I fell into the pit of chaos - and tried something wildly different. At first I liked it, then I didn't. At least I listened to a functional corner of my brain that said: STOP holding onto the page of Peanuts stamps because there are only two of each character and that is the swamp of chaos into which Lichtenstein lured you -- and he at least gave you 4 options to figure something out.
Just STOP - and do the most obvious thing possible - which was what I did on Rachael's. As I said - I sorta liked it - but it wasn't quite right - so I thought I would try again. I had Madison Mosher's name to do and it would have fit perfectly - but Madison is in college and I can't imagine that college students are into Peanuts. So the other name left to do was Troy's. I had to add some zig-zags to fill out the line.
When it came to filling in the border around the stamp - I liked it left open - but I'm not sure I should have left it that way. I opted for a different way to add some yellow - and if I had to rank these - Rachael's edges out Troy's.
