Envelope
This week let us be inspired by the Envelope. Challenge yourself to make an ordinary envelope a work of art. Incorporate an envelope in a collage (don’t forget to tuck something inside!). Sketch a series of envelopes. Or make a stack of envelopes the subject of your next painting. Whatever creative direction you choose to take, dare yourself to ‘push the envelope’ and have fun with this topic!

Get creative by interpreting this topic through art, words, photography, however you feel moved to express yourself. Post it on your blog, then leave your link* in the comments section of this post so we can go check it out.
* To ensure it is easy for us to find your work, please provide a link to a static page that will always show your submission, and not your website’s main page.

I love to receive handwritten letters in the mail knowing someone has made an effort to write to you and paid to stick a stamp on the envelope…just for you!

I love mail art and it is a guilty pleasure to take time away from my more “serious” work to dash off some envelopes or postcards for mail art calls from around the world - here is one postcard, not technically an envelope - but much the same look.

I’ve been having a difficult time being “creative” and while I’m not as happy as I could be with what I’ve done, I’m happy that I made the attempt! And that’s what Inspire Me Thursday is all about.

I love how one person’s rubbish is another person’s treasure. The beautiful art that comes from an inspiration and paper.
