Love Letter envelopes

Paper

This collection of individually handmade envelopes was made from World War II love letters. Each tiny envelope is lined with gold paper. 

Eric wrote to his love two or three times a week for five years before and during World War II. His letters, which were brought to light after more than sixty years, were full of messages of love interspersed with news of everyday life at the time.

I like to think that Eric would be pleased that his letters have been given a new life.
