from the envelope to the gifts inside these pieces of MA blew me away. This is one that 'must' be held to feel the 100% cotton paper. Carina used a graphic press and said  it is an "easy peasy" etching process. The details, the imagery, the entire package is one of my favorites. AND a self portrait inside a translucent envelope, and a map of an area of Finland as a backdrop. So lucky to have received this unique and thoughtful piece.. Thank you Carina. WOW..

thanks for that bit of info Carina. Years ago Iowa's alcohol stores were also 100% state owned but i don't remember the sacks being as interesting as the one you used for this envelope. The pressure is on to send you something you like as much as i like your 'Feel like a million' piece.

and Svenja, your arty slides went out today.

Carina, I sent something to you today, hope you like it! ;-)

"Alko" name on the envelope is the Finnish alcohol store chain logo. It is owned 100% by the state and is the only place you can buy alcohol like wine and stronger products...
