I'm in a little mail art group of 3-4 women and the theme for July was bugs, but they had to be hand drawn. None of us are hand drawing pros, we're more the collaging/journaling type, so hand drawing a bunch of bugs was a challenge. I knew I wanted to use the words 'you bug me' on my envelopes, so I wrote that on the front in big letters, then added bugs every place. On the back of each envie, I drew one large insect. Added a bunch of stamps and mailed them off. Too much fun.
I wrote the addresses in the E in ME. The recipients liked them, so I consider them a success, altho I'll never make a living illustrating entomology books. (the purple squiggles are not part of my art, it's where I blanked out my address in Photoshop) I did the black work with various permanent markers, then colored with my Copics.
I've received one of the three I'm expecting. When they all arrive, I'll blog about them.
