    I just had an idea. You could create images of fractals on those envelopes…now that would be aweseome. The bigger the envelope, the better. :)

    Wow. That is impressive.
    Those are the most beautiful man made things that I have seen in quite some time.

    Make sure you not sent cash money inside the envelope.

      Actually, someone just uses his “free time” to create things.

      Letters, for one thing. Though, anything that fits in an envelope, but isn’t too small to fall out the holes.

    Brilliant. Did you use a laser cutter? I’m fascinated by the meticulous details of both your and Keetra’s creations.

      Yes, I had access to a laser cutter while at Cranbrook.

    These are amazing. Great concept. So are these supposed to work similar to the security envelopes but instead of making people secure about their things, they are insecure because they believe people will be able to see their information, but they won’t really?

    These are so elegant. I am in awe.
