Mail Art Part 2


So if the front of the envelope can be stars then the back can be hearts. I decided to document the progress of the mail art for no other reason than to stretch out a couple of posts.  I wanted to do a zentangle type of mail art.

First I positioned the hearts and decided where to overlap them. I used a Fiskars plastic template to place the hearts. I then used the edge of the template to draw lines at random widths across the envelope. I chose sections of the envelope to keep the direction of the lines consistent.  As you can see, there are four distinct areas for the lines.

I will probably draw all of the doodles in black Sharpie and then come back and fill in the areas with colored pencil but I haven't gotten that far yet.
