17 Montogue st. 'larky art!'

http://www.harrietrussell.co.uk/

it just so happened that i got my creative paws on this interesting book while working at the local library.

Lucky for me the travel section was having a spring clean. I didn't even know what the book was about until i opened it a few days later.

This inspirational artist of 17 Montogue St, Glasgow has published a collections of cleverly composed envelopes from over a few yrs. The fasinating thing is the many ways Harriet came up with communicating her address; from dot-to-dot, word puzzels, drawn sign language, cute comic conversations, maps, photos, floor plans, colour by number and so on.

here are a few i enjoyed:

 

this is a travel card that Harriet wrote on and 6 months later recieved back in the mail!

this is air mail from NYC. I can just imagine her doodling away in a little NY cafe with daily routines happening behind her.

 

I love looking inside houses, i also like to imagine the layout, thankfully with the help of this floor plan I could decorate this little apartment as i continued on with the happy little find.
