Inside out

Craig Oldham is an ex-footballer, now designer; I stumbled upon his site whilst looking for something completely different.  I’ve seen lots of  craft projects lately that transform the printed interiors of security envelopes into cool new concepts, like beads, and even business card storage.  The elegant simplicity of this idea, however, blew me away: just carefully turn the envelope inside out for a completely fresh envelope that you can now re-use!
[Update, already! - I just found this how-to tutorial, at Design Sponge...]

Craig is also running the hand.written.letter.project, which is, quite simply, all about reminding people that in this wonderfully technological day and age, there is still something inherently nice about getting a personal letter (probably more so than at any time in the past, as they are so rare these days; that’s the point).   I totally agree, & I’ll be sending him a letter this week.  Why don’t you?  (see his website – link above – for details.)
