Some of my stuff

I love stationery. It's so hard to find sheet stationery that I like - all the cute stuff is in card form, and I write longer letters than that. So in order to get what I want (and save money - stationary is expensive!) I've started doing simple stuff myself. Let me know if you want to order any, I'd love to share!

 Great stamp, makes for such a neat sheet and envelope.
 The stamp was egg-shaped, which became this chunky chain. I love the little pointing hand stamp - a much more elegant way to say "over."


 Front...
 And back. I like sewing ribbon onto these sheets and backing them with pretty paper. You have to write a really short note though.
 Hard to see, but the paper that I cut the waves out of is printed with stuff like "serenity" and "peace" and "calm."
 This one might be my favorite. Part of the receipt from a ferry ride I took, color copied onto the paper.

 Pieces from maps of the Kilarney area in Kerry, Ireland.
 Close-up of the map. I'm into the concentration of standing stones, castles, and holy wells.

I've done a bunch of octopus designs, from all differently patterned paper.

More some other time!
Go write a letter to someone! S/he will love it!
