Flowers

Need to find original I sent and to who. Recreated for me.

I like this one, but tricky to do -- need a good name with a few ascenders.


brush markers and 3d paint for dots.



 

PP Uncial

I used to love Mike Kesceg's pointed pen uncial alpha. I still like it, but don't letter it as much as i use to.

Here is a sample env. with it.

Scruff

 Loved the Dr. Seuss stamps. Had fun with the Scruff font and colors for this one.

Mondrian-ish

I love Mondrian. The primary colors, the cubism/geometric elements...all of it. SO, I tried creating some letters in that manner as well as the env. design itself.



I also created one for myself.

Probably easier to do on the computer vs. hand-lettering.

 

Drawn Caps to Kate

 I love how this one turned out. I tried making it look "flighty" to coordinate with the stamp. I used at brush marker and filled in with color pencil. Enviro font for the address. I should try to re-create.

Thornton brights! (old exchanges)

 I used to really be into Peter Thornton's button alphabet, and created a few env.'s with the same theme:



hand-drawn on grey with neon colors. Enviro caps & lc alpha for a border.

One to myself (Didn't send, just created).


I totally forgot about this one until one day, I saw it pop up on Pinterest. In 2003, I found her website at:
https://www.cecilia-letteringart.com/mailartgallery/mailartgallery.html and created an env. to send to her.



And a few more just for fun:

This one was more vibrant in-person, plus this is a scan.

vs. photo

Do not like the red outline.
