Well, the first letter is off. Elle of Art Of A Letter and I are exchanging fictitious letters between a brother and sister, yet trying to incorporate actual events in the dialogue. I am deliberately not posting pictures of what I sent. I will leave that up to Elle, plus I don't want to ruin the surprise.
The picture above is a sample of what I used to create the letter. That's right, pen and ink, faithfully dipped and written. I did pick up a 9X12 sketch pad with 90# creme colored paper to have something to fold up old-style. I did discover that the paper has two sides! One side takes liquid ink very well. The backside, however, looks like a spider is sitting behind each letter. Oh well, live and learn.
I can't wait to see it!
ReplyDeleteI received the letter!! I have taken a photograph of the letter with the seal and one of the letter open on a chair. Do I have your permission to make a post about our little project? Since it is a fictional letter may I leave the writing so that it can be read? It is lovely handwriting! I hope you won't be disappointed that my handwriting leaves something to be desired... I promise I'll try to make it up in content :) I still have a thing or two to get done before I can write my letter back to you, but it won't be long. This is going to be fun! Thanks for the lovely letter,your story was very interesting. See you in the mail! Elle
