Newish exchanger Kerry is a graphic designer. I like the coordination of the two cloud/rain images. I love the little envelopes - obviously. This is good example of how just one color can be very effective. It reminded me of the turquoise ink that was so popular in the 50s and 60s. Back in the olden days (the mid-century olden days), we learned to print with manuscript and then learned cursive in third grade. We also learned to write cursive with a cartridge ink pen. It was a big deal to get one's first cartridge pen. Not everyone could convince their parents to buy the turquoise ink. I know I never had it. I would have liked it but I don't think it was traumatic for me to not have it. I'm trying to remember which things that I could not have were the most traumatizing. I think loafers might have been the main thing.
I need to double up some of the April envelopes. This one from newish exchanger Julie Ann pairs nicely with Kerry's. It reminded me of a favorite video I shot of my grandson when he was five. Walking home from school in the rain. He meanders along, swinging the umbrella. I couldn't get the video to upload - so all I have are screen shots.
