Hipster 7 - Aug to Jessica, Lisa, Christi and Meg

Real time add-on.

Yesterday - at 6 pm - I was working on the October posts. My September envelopes were not nearly as good as August - so I was thinking I should skip participating in the October exchange - because I am so distracted with the ofrenda. 

Then I thought - maybe I should poll the exchangers. Not all of the exchangers read the blog - but - if you do exchange - or if you have ever exchanged - and if you have a couple minutes - please email me and answer this question:

Would you be disappointed if you did not get an Oct envelope from me?

Please send your response to me at ptenvelopes-at-aol-dot-com





This was probably the very first one I did in the series -- and then below are the last ones I did. I almost forgot to do Christi's - because we have Christy and Christi - and I was inept at keeping track of things. Or maybe I sent two to Christi - but, I don't think I did.


I can think of better things to do with the chipmunks --- the orange marker is a better match - but it's a little too dry.

I have yet to think of something really good to go with the rabbit. I like that I left some of the strokes disconnected. Overall - I like these looser, 3 layer letters a lot more than that very first one - which is tight. There's nothing wrong with tight - but somehow I lean towards the more gestural approach.


I'm happy with the colors on this one - but - this stamp looks better on a kraft paper envelope.
