today i made some packaging for my new to-be product that is in the works. i googled 'origami envelope' and found some instructions on how to make a square one with no tape! i used my print seconds ~ i have a huge pile of these that i haven't thrown away thinking they may be useful sometime {playschool drummed this concept into me at a very young age}. to make a print from an original i sometimes use 7 or 8 tries at getting the colour right.
the bottome pic is some sketches that will become aceos, hopefully tomorrow! i've had a request for some, which is very exciting :)
hope your thursday has been/will be very creative. to see more spaces or show your own go to kootoyoo.

There's something about tiny things isn't there...these envelopes are works of art by themselves...
Those envelopes are worth framing on their own, let alone with one of your gorgeous notes in there.
Yumm, yumm...very exciting!!!!
(Just convoed you with another idea inspired by your envelopes :-) )
These are really very very gorgeous! Can't wait till they are in your shop - just so special. Thanks for showing a preview! :) K
They look fantastic!!
Oh they are so gorgeous! They are so clever and I just love all your delicate illustrations. I'll be stalking your shop for one!

those nine envelopes lined up look like they are ready to be framed up just like that.
i'm new to your blog, it's lovely here..
Your work is always so enjoyable and peaceful to look at, I do just love popping in to visit! And it's great to see you've been dipping in to your useful box! I think my whole house is becoming one!
I agree ~ the envelopes are works of art on their own. Fantastic pic. Can't wait to see the new product. And the ACEOS. I can see a return visit in my future!
What a clever idea and such beautiful artwork. Origami always tricks me up but I love the result.
i love the packaging idea (visually), but equally love that you are going to use your seconds. such a great way to re-use/recycle and make something beautiful.
Your work and blog are so inspiring that we did a little 'we heart' post about you and your work. I hope that is alright and we stole a few photos to do so. Please let us know if you we got our info. correct or if you would like us to change anything.

Clever idea! I always save all my proofs too - just in case :)
It's all looking good, Belinda- Your creative space is always inspiring!
So cute! I love paper!
Hooray for playschool & hooray for you.
They are gorgeous.
I love these Belinda!! Great idea :)
I thnk you should even sell these envelopes! Super! What a fantastic idea & I"m glad that someone taught you not to throw away stuff that fast! :)
Belinda these are so beautiful!
I love to fold envelopes this way, I remember as a child folding a ton of invitations for my parents. It's so fun isn't it? :)
Happy weekend!
great idea and they look fab!
We have similar color brains — I LOVE green too. These envelopes rock, how cool that they're self-closing! And congrats on the aceo requests. You rock, plain and simple.
