Ok, brag time!! I am so, so SO proud and happy with how this turned out!! I got the idea on Pinterest from this: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/284993482656912266/ . When I first saw it, I thought it could easily be transformed into a snail (for "Snail Mail"!) and it's been in my ideas folder for a while now. SO thought it a perfect time to try and create! (Plan to do for some of my pen pals as well.) And how lucky that the stamp goes!

Snail Calligram
I was beyond thrilled it turned out (esp. since I'm so impatient to doing "planning" sheets/trial runs first). Although I included the address in the bottom part of the snail's body, I decided to write it out as well, to make delivery easier.
Here is the wording, starting inside the small circle part of the shell:
"Snail mail is a huge passion of mine. It's such a fun hobby for me. I love sending envelopes lettered creatively, but decorated ones are fun too. I love to letter names big. It also makes me happy to know they're enjoyed."
Body of snail:
"I am so grateful for my art especially during this time. It gets my mind off negativity and my other worries. Please deliver to: ..." and then I write out the address.
