Shopping List Saturday ~ Make a cup of tea, there's a lot to see!

A beautiful antique opened out envelope is the basis for this collage. One of my fav drawing techniques is mono printing. The quality of the line that mono printing produces is so gorgeous, so I have drawn a flower on this envelope using the very same technique.

Lots of calico, muslin, liberty, mother of pearly buttons too. The stamp, date mark and hand writing is so beautiful. Over 130 years old, the stories it could tell. It's only small but very lovely. SOLD Woo hoo!

Another item for sale is a sketchbook with another Letter Card collaged and embroidered. This was sent in the 40's by a sailor to his mum in London from Butlins Holiday Camp. He signed himself as 'your sailor boy, Arthur'. This is a photo from the Letter Card, it's obviously the Camp Site Chef. Does'nt he look jolly!
