Before Christmas, I started receiving Christmas cards, and the first had an interesting stamp on it; sent from New Zealand, it depicted a character from the upcoming film 'The Hobbit' which had been filmed there. This made me examine the envelope more closely, and I decided to keep it. Soon, other interesting mail came in, with reindeer, and different postmarks and coloured envelopes. I collected them and started to form marks based on them, plotted where they came from on a map to form a pattern, and drew round envelopes. This gave me a good range of images from which to develop motifs.
