Write your own envelope stack!

Assignment

Address a stack of 20 envelopes using a style and ink color of your choice. Your goal is to provide a consistent look and feel, a professional finished set of work, and an elegant and exciting stack of mail!

Envelopes can present a lot of different challenges, variables, and opportunities — and they are often at the core of a calligrapher's client work. Mastering how to create a stack is essential for both your own personal practice and branching into the world of professional calligraphy.

Deliverable

Photograph your stack as well as a few finished pieces so that we can see your work.

Share your work in the project gallery, telling us about:

Your calligraphy style
Selecting paper and ink
Any obstacles you faced
How you feel now that it's done!

Keep in mind that you may not want to post photos of real addresses so include a few fake envelopes in your stack so that you can show us the entire thing.
