Beautifully hand painted envelope

and super calligraphic from Richard Baudet:

I am new to Envelopes and thought you might like to see a couple I am sending out. Though I made the sombrero envelope a while ago I was thinking about the images that were "stolen" off the internet either .

Cheers greg

To be (an envelope) or not to be (an envelope)?

Great tiny orange envelope, drawn by Ruud who used a 3D pen. Thank you, Ruud, dank!

well, i did write the envelope. Am now writing letters.....

Many fantastic envelopes have been sent my way over the past year and a half [my IUOMA journey thus far] I will have to just start sharing what is recent and go from there . . .

This envelope was sent my way from Piro [R. Rios] . . . Piro always has some great artwork to share.

From Vizma Bruns:

It looks like this came from Japan. Vizma abroad. Fantastic. I really want one of those space kitty stamps . . .

This one was sent to me by Rebecca Guyver:

Okay, so this envelope is clear and doesn't have much on it other than a stamp [2.15!] and an air mail sticker. However, showing what is inside and the embroidered name on the address label [I love that] provides every bit of eye candy as though it was on the envelope itself.

Richard Baudet sent this lovely envelope.

Richard addressed and posted the other side of this envelope, but this, the back panel, was the icing on the cake. This was the first piece Richard has sent me, so I am excited to open it up and see what awaits for the recipient.

From Ruud Janssen:

I always think of Ruud as one of the busiest guys around, so when he has the time to send something my way, I am always pleased. When he takes the time to get out the paints to adorn the envelope, it's extra special. Thanks Rudd!

an altered postcard, please return>

Beautiful water and trees on envelope from Heleen de Vaan

A tiny, tiny "envelope" from Ruud...3-D and BLUE!

Smile for all of us, Laurence

one regular envelope, one transparent postcard.

"Stitched" envelope beauty from Marni Webber:

and stitched greeting on back of envelope, too:

other envelopes with "windows" like the one from Marni:

this one from Eberhard Janke in Germany:

and ORANGE painted one from Theo Nelson:

Whirls and swirls from ArtTower on his envelope:

I love the fish rubber stamp prints, I love the 'Air mail' sticker (a special one!), and most of all I love the Platypus! Not one, not two, but Many Platypus! 

I hope I still can post this in the 'envelopes' group, as it is more stamp than envelope :-)

The back side and content I'll post in the Orange group, but first I wanted to share my happiness due to these stamps showing one of my all-time favourite animals. Thank you very much, Vizma!

I am new to the group. I've noticed some of the addresses on the envelopes here are blurry to protect privacy. How do you blur the address? Thanks very much for any help.

Beautifully painted envelope from Theo Nelson

with "window"

Art -on-the-Envelope, collage and paint, from Domi Guillemin in France:

Amazing, Heleen! None of them are stamped!!

Am loving the wonderful envelopes from Domi, Theo, and Ruud. Thanks for sharing!

I have to ask why is it a lot of people don't cover the postal addresses to protect the privacy of the person who sent them some mail art before posting it here on the site  ?   I know if I sent someone some mail art I wouldn't want my address still showing on the envelope for everyone to see.
