Handwritten Letters

Handwritten letters, a contrast to my typographical postcards. Here, the ee. cummings love poem has been spilt into three lengthy sections and presented in a traditional way. I drew victorian inspired decoration to frame the words, adding to the overall 'voice' of the words.

Printed onto an off-white, translucent paper; Pergamenta, the letters retain an old worn feel to them, giving ideas of the letters being kept and cherished. Being inspired by aerogram mail, the letter itself folds up into the envelope, making the opening process quite grand with the numerous folds.

Each envelope/letter is coded with saturated colour, to again, reinforce the worn feel. I tied string around the envelopes to keep inplace as part of a set. The product itself is very delicate and fragile, in contrast to the postcards which are sterdy and display the message clearly; the handwritten letters hides the information withing the folds, maing the words more sentimental to the receiver.
