your stuff is always great
I know exactly how you feel! I also miss letters, cards, postcards. I love snail mail!
Great design and colors as always. Your stull is always great.
I agree Michelle. I love sending cards and I especially LOVE decorating the envelopes!Sending and receiving pretty mail is a nice way to make someone smile :)
Great illo!
Oh, yes! I also love the magic of the old letters!
It's a beautiful illo, Michelle :)
Have a nice weekend!
great illo - and you are right - those long, heavy, ornamented letters were wonderful!
I don't miss 'em. Probably because I associate them with the guilt I felt when I failed to write back.
lovely drawing Michelle, clear bright colours and strong design.
I totally agree. I've been thinking about that lately (as I've been sorting through some great old ones). Lovely sense of longing in the image. She looks like she's waiting for someone to write back but suspects they won't.
You're right! Good old days;-)
Good illo!
Lovely piece, Michelle - nice concept and composition!
Real letters are real magic. I know the feeling, and your illustration evokes just that.
There is nothing like real letters. I love to see them full of seals. VIA AIR MAIL those are magical words!
You look beautiful waiting, Mitchie :)
Yep, I agree. Very cute little girl! I love the way she tries to hypnotize that mailbox..
i love the colors !! and i like to recive air mail too is more exiting than an email
very charlie brown...lovely as always Michelle!
lovely cartoon drawing! it reminds me really of how i felt when i don't get any letters back way then....
nothing's as sweet as thinking somebody licks the stamp just to get in touch with you... nice illo! ;)
Wow you came up with two creative and clever ideas and along with your crisp clean colours and charming characters they both are perfect Michelle!
I miss these days, too. I still buy pretty stationary and decorate my envelopes. It is a lost art. It's a nice feeling to receive something in the mail aside from bills and junk mail.
Cute illo!
wow the letter takes me back top when i actually use to get each week from my mom as a kid. Does anyone actually still use this form of communication it always had that personal touch to it for me much better then a email nice work
I love getting mail too (but not bills!)...it's just so hard to get my lazy butt to the post office and send them. Nice one Michelle!
awww she looks sad
i love snail mail and writing letters too...I still make the effort to write notes and cards to send to friends...
She looks so sad. great illustration though.
this is so cute!
i watched Lake HOuse this weekend and this just reminds me of it.
Cute girl - and nice drawing.
I don't miss the letters. I wrote letters before and got some again. But now I write and receive more e-mails than letters before. Some emails would'n be written in letters. I think it's easier to hold the contact with family and friends with e-mails than letters.
Love this piece. Colors, expression and message. Yes, it is so true!
Like usual you have a great little illo and very creative solution....
yes I know that, sometimes I wait also in front of my letter-box.... I like to send and to receive mail... But at this time I am taken by the time, and alas I don't write enough ;o)
Very beautiful illustration, and I hope that you will quickly receive the mail until you wait :o)
Exactly - so well expressed and delineated!
ooh, your character looks a little sad... I felt the same with my cousins ;)
Yes, letters are sweet, and E-mails are efficient-most of the time.
Nice take on the theme. The little girl standing quietly, anticipating the treasure waiting for her in the humble mailbox. Sweet scene and creative idea!
aww this is so great! I love getting mail!
Very true Michelle. :-) Nice!
Love her expression - I miss mail too, it's always a nice surprise to get a real letter :)
Another really really cute one!
