My quest to rekindle the art of the hand written letter continues. Another six letters have set off on their journey around the world; Boston USA, Tasmania Australia, Victoria Australia, Newcastle UK and two have headed to British Columbia Canada.
I can’t show the illustrations inside the letters, it would spoil the surprise for those receiving, but I have illustrated the envelopes.
Letter number 12 has set off to Jen Ross the creator of Winter Owls a delightful blog full of thrifty creations and of course Owls. Not surprisingly Jen gets an owl.
Letter 13 is full of good luck and is off to Jade in Canada. Her Dad is the creator of Drawings for Jade. Each morning before he sets of to work he makes a drawing for Jade…how cool is that. Jade loves her ladybug boots so I thought a little spotty insect or two wouldn’t go amiss.
Letter 14 is for Harini who is the creator of The Madras Designery. Harini, like me, uses fine liner pens for many of her drawings but takes the art to a whole different level.
Letter 15 hasn’t gone very far at all, it’s stayed in Newcastle. It is for Erin who works alongside me at Seven Stories. Erin has given a home to some ex-battery hens who produce the most delicious eggs. So it had to be chickens.
Number 16 is for Owlissa who is also doing a letter writing challenge. She has been far more sensible and is sending off one a week. Check out her blog Mum in the Woods The little elf on the envelope is an homage to Owlissa who has a very cool hairstyle.
And finally letter 17 has gone all the way to Canada to Shelley who lives in Honeymoon Bay. I hope that is as romantic as it sounds. Shelly popped by my blog and offered to help me out with my challenge by asking me to send her a letter.
If I am to complete my challenge of sending a letter a day through 2013 I really need some help. I need 365 people to send to. If you would like to receive a Letter Elf from me you’ll find all the details here.

You’ve been a very busy elf doodler!
I certainly have!
They are all lovely!
Thank you 🙂 Hopefully they will all make it to their destinations safely.
yay I’m getting a letter!!
🙂
Wow! If I didn’t know better, I’d say the elves have been hard at work! You’re so creative. There seems to be no limit to your imagination – love them all, although it’s especially exciting to see the growing variety of non-elf creatures that you are revealing your talents for drawing. LOVE!
Keep your hands warm, is there snow where you are by any chance? Brrrr!
Aw thank you Lemony. There is snow but not too bad yet. Although I was going to set off in Sunny to travel a little further north…hmmmm.
Hmmm… take it easy. Don’t want to see Sunny’s rays being extinguished on the way! Stay safe ok? No need to hand deliver the letters if Royal Mail is snowed in 😛
Journey abandoned. Everyone snowed in 😦
I got my Ziggy letter just the other day! Wow! Thank you Ziggy
Hey, it was an honour to be able to send one your way 🙂
I am so excited to see that a special letter is on it’s way to me! I’ll be running out to check everyday. Thank you Ziggy!
You are so welcome 🙂
Oooh! Im SO excited. Thank you for the envelope of happiness headed my way. I’m going to be sure to hound the poor mail

“Envelope of happiness” love it.
Beautiful!
Aw shucks….thank you 🙂
Wow! … So Exciting!
Jade and I have been “playing letters” lately.
I can’t wait to “play” and create yours!
Thanks again!
I’m really looking forward to it 🙂
I got mine today! It’s great, thank you. And, I hadn’t seen this, but knew it was me straight away! (or, my hair at least).
😀
So glad it’s arrived safely. Such a cool haircut, I couldn’t resist.
Thank you so much Ziggy!
We received you letter last week.
