Thanks, Mr. Postman!

I just got today’s mail (at 5:30pm — but this is not the time to be complaining about my postal carrier) and found that my entry in this year’s contest, The Graceful Envelope, received an Honorable Mention! Yay, me!

This is the 12th annual Graceful Envelope contest, and for many years I’ve planned to submit something, but this is the first time I’ve ever actually gotten something in the mail.

Well, I’ve just managed to squeeze in one post in March. Barely. This is the envelope I sent off a few minutes ago for The Graceful Envelope contest. Not a particularly inspired contribution, but it is very good to be doing something calligraphic after such a long time. A family health crisis has kept me out of the studio, but I expect April to finally be a return to life as usual. If there’s any such thing as “life as usual”.
