This is the envelope before I sprayed a clear coat over it. It had to stay outside overnight to get the smell off of it, and it rained before I woke up the next morning. Amazingly enough, the clear coat protected it extremely well. I only had to dry it off, touch up the marker and put a stamp on it.

Stripygoose - you're a joy.  I love your happy - making birds-of-all-feathers and it makes me super happy that you like the one I made for you.

Thanks for the info mg. I'm still admiring and enjoying the envelope you sent to me.

I used a spray can of clear matte polyurethane by Krylon.  It never messes up my watercolors.  Of course I probably won't be clear coating anything I make now until May.  My partner really objects to the smell so I don't even do it in the basement, and the weather just isn't amenable in the winter to leaving anything outside.  Thanks for the compliment!

What sort of clear coat is it - a varnish?Really like the sky-line.
