Pen Envelope and lunch with a Friend

A friend from urban sketchers wanted some pens like the ones I use in my sketchbooks. So we arranged to meet for lunch, sketch, chat and then I could hand off the pens to her.
Here’s the sketch I did during lunch.



And here’s the little surprise I made for her to keep the pens. She liked it so much that she said she’s using it on her next trip to India.


The envelope was made of heavy decorative card stock. I sewed all around the liner with my sewing machine.
 I attached a sari silk ruffle and button closure with elastic wrap.
The button was attached with two decorative brads. 
 I included a postcard and notepad inside the envelope
I made a curly paper clip dangle with an elephant and three silver bells.

  1. Oh, that's a sweet pen case! I bet Natalie loves it! And that bowl looks way too healthy... when I go to Panera, I eat a cinnamon raisin bagel slathered with cream cheese. ;-)

    1. We spoke of you at lunch. Wish you were here. Where was THAT on the menu? Oh! I should have turned the page!

  2. P.S. When you and I meet up next, no "warm bowls" with arugula will be consumed... donuts or nothin', baby. Although National Croissant Day is Jan. 30...!
