These are a couple of examples of the hand drawn envelopes I send the postcards out in - they are drawn by hand in calligraphy ink and accompany each pack of cards ordered - they are then stamped with a wax seal using molten candle wax - Lovely!! - at the moment there is an offer on the floral packs for FREE postage - if you're long distance now's the chance to save a few pennies / cents
I always thought about doing my own cards for family and stuff and finishing with a wax seal and hand made stamp of sorts summin to do with nostalgia or just looks good dunno!
Thanks - I love sending items through the post - especially with artwork on the outside - the idea of artwork making it's way around the globe is a beautiful thing. - The wax seal is also a beautiful thing made by a co. called Mura - There is just something precious about it and it's connotations with secrecy. Brown paper packages tied up with string....! I have some old legal documents on vellum which have a wax seal about 15cm in diameter contained in a metal box - they are just beautiful.
