Well, I did write a letter yesterday, I just didn’t get time to post it up. Too deep in reflection. So here are both letters 5 and 6.
Letter 5 is wending its way to the south of England to the very beautiful spa town of Bath. The little elf contained within has to remain a secret until, Becky, takes ownership. But the envelope has a couple of cheeky Puffins.
Letter 6 is travelling further afield to Ohio, USA . This little elf is going to Susan, creator of Chez Lilly; a chilled out art blog. On Susan’s “About” page is a quote from Alice in Wonderland so her envelope is adorned with the Mad Hatter, and the White Rabbit. Earlier last year I created an elf especially for Susan. You can see it here. If you would like an elf of your own or would like to be elfed take a look here.
Thank you so much to everybody who has offered to help me in my quest to revive the art of the hand written letter by writing one a day for the next 12 months. But I really need more of you to be recipients if I am to write 365!
If you would like to take part in the challenge and receive a Ziggy Illustrated Letter all the details are here.

Thanks–Ziggy–got the letter yesterday and ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!! The Hatter and White Rabbit on the front were perfect! I’m getting my studio in order this weekend, and a letter to you will be the first creative task for the new space.
