10th September

DP 253

Ooh, the first real casualty in The Diary Project. This envelope was so badly damaged that the Royal Mail sent it back in an 'oh dear, we're very sorry' plastic bag. I was completely amazed to discover that the contents are still inside.

I was quite gleeful when the envelope returned in this state - it's the most exciting thing to have happened on the project so far - but I was glad that you can still see part of the drawing. I was experimenting with a new technique on this envelope, I drew in white ink, let it dry and then went over it with coloured pencil, it gives an interesting 'cave painting' sort of look that doesn't scan very well.
