Beyond the Pad...           

 

This section is devoted to doodling on a surface other than the normal variety of art paper.

 

Envelope Front

 

 

Envelope Back

 

 

 

 

 

The envelope front & back were made from a file folder. The bottom of the envelope is the fold of the folder. The sides were stitched on my sewing machine. I left a flap at the top to fold over and secure with an elastic cord and button.

I made eight of these, all originals to contain the eight fabric kitten cards located in the card section HERE.

Although I did enjoy this project, I don't plan on making more originals. Each envelope took way too many hours so anyone who receives one of these cards and envelopes ought to consider themselves quite special. ;-)

I do, however, like the idea of making envelopes from a sturdy stock and sewing them on the machine. It was quite easy once I got the hang of it. I will continue to experiment.
