Why indeed ?
Here is a little idea for all budding artists out there.
It’s an idea I got from fellow Malay artist Chang Fee Ming, check his work out.
So the idea is that you paint on an envelope, mine as you can see was a printed envelope. You can either put yours or the recipient’s address on the front over the painted envelope, or as I did on the back of the envelope.
It was funny trying to explain to the Hotel receptionist in Malaysia, that I wanted my letter posted back to myself, back to the resort, she clearly thought I was an eccentric Englisman. But she duly obliged. Hey presto when it comes back to you, it’s franked with the date and location, and covered in lovely foreign stamps.
A lovely reminder of your trip, or a nice present for someone back home when you are on your travels.
As Chang pointed out though some do go missing in the post, or like mine the postal service didn’t arrived before we left the Country, and it had to be forwarded by the Resort.
Here are a few more examples, why not give it a try ?
