oh, yeah, the pic is painted by the marvelous Elizabeth Gertsakis - not a self-portrait

I guess the 'O' could be for 'Anacortes'..........an 'O' for 'Island'.  So, if all the alphabet's letters are gathered in the circle of the 'O', what is in the square of the 'Envelope'?

Jan, that is one gorgeous envelope with all those tiny pieces of text. Marni did an excellent job. I can't imagine all the gluing! :-)

Wow - I love the way they are all sort of nestled into a pile. It's really effective.
Comment by Jan Hodgman on December 19, 2014 at 6:32am

Yes, meticulous little bitsy pieces of text/type---quite beautiful to behold.

An envelope I received from Marni on neighboring Whidbey Island!

I really love this envelope! (I don't mind my address being exposed, I like it as part of the wholeness of the piece, but respect others' opinions on this....)

MomKat, thanks for explaining why you blot out addresses. I agree that the address could distract from the beauty of the envelope. Good thought...one that obviously never entered my mind. :-) Thank you.

I am confused, as usual, too!

The address is CZ, but the handwriting looks like Meeah's hand.
