Because I may have the flu, I've been trying to make myself feel better between naps by looking at beautiful art. linkThese are a year of rent check envelopes. |

That is amazing!!! Thanks for sharing. If I was the landlord, I would have kept all those envelopes for sure (and even framed and hung them).

Wow, that's amazing. TFS.
The mail I send (to family and friends only) get a strip of washi tape on the back flap and I thought that was interesting! HAHA!

What fun. I would be thrilled to receive such an envelope. I also found myself fascinated by her use of stamps. That must be quite a collection she has.

Those are gorgeous! I love how most of them had stamps that fit the theme of the month. I hope the receiver appreciated the work and talent that went into them. Thanks for sharing this!!  |

When I was in college I took calligraphy as my art class. I was never in this league but sometimes I think about picking it up again.
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
ETA: just to make you feel worse, I am on round 2 with the flu. I had it after the first of the year and now I have the same thing again. Feel better soon.

Wow! Thank you for sharing the link to such beautiful artwork! I admire people's creativity. I am not very creative myself. It would make mail so much nicer to get something pretty like that on occasion.

Kristina Werner does some lovely mail art envelopes. However, this woman is on a whole other artistic level!

I know people who don't even keep birthday cards or photo Christmas cards, So imagine putting all this time into these envelopes knowing they are being throw in the garbage? At least a card might be displayed for a week. |

Love it, TFS! And for reminding me life is too short to assume. I almost didn't open your post because I thought it would be "nail" art - something that wouldn't interest me |

Those are stunning! TFS!
The Post Office probably hates them, but they are simply gorgeous and I would love to receive them. (I know the Post Office frowns on even just the darker color envelopes because they make it hard for the machines to read the addresses, so I would imagine that these definitely pose a bit of an issue sometimes.)

Beautiful! TFS! Guess I better get my pens out sometime soon.
The post office is getting to be a pain You can mail in anything including glass see through bottles. Some people use plastic baby bottle for shower invitations. (Available at Oriental Trading)

I LOVE hand lettering. I follow a few people on instagram that have bullet journals just because I love to see their creativity.

Wow, they are STUNNING! I would have loved to have received those. I loved that the landlord appreciated them and actually displayed them! I really have to learn how to do calligraphy. I came across this amazing calligrapher on FB yesterday, and I spent a lot of time looking at her photos and watching videos: Lililettering InstagramAnd this gorgeous glittery calligraphy - I could watch it all day! |

The post office will mail anything (pretty much). You just need to make sure you put the correct postage on your letter. Anything other than a standard rectangle (there are min/max sizes as well as aspect ratios) is going to require extra postage. Compared to the majority of the world, our postage is cheap. USPS is at the mercy of congress for funding. What they accomplish at the price they charge is a bargain.
