Envelope lining 7

This is the lining of a fairly large envelope posted in the UK in early 2019. It is a simple pattern of blue lines, in a hexagonal shape.

Envelope lining 6

This particular envelope comes from the UK. It came from the same set of materials as "Envelope Lining 5"-- a set of leaflets for the UK Charity Prostate Cancer UK , encouraging donations. This was the envelope the charity provided for donors to send in their donations.

The pattern of this envelope is a "herring-bone" pattern in blue. 

Envelope lining 4

This is the lining of an envelope, made by the UK company Tallon. It is a simple pattern of blue, straight lines. The maker's name is printed along the pattern

Blue crinkled paper.

The following decorated paper is found on the cover of a pocket notebook purchased in Singapore, around the year 2014. It is a flat, printed with a rootlike pattern on a blue ground. If I recall correctly, the pattern was also printed on Yellow and Green grounds The pattern seems to be a photographic reproduction of some texture, indeed, another piece of decorated paper.  Perhaps an imitation of morocco leather? 

Floral paper

A New year, and finally a new post. Here is a fine floral wrapping-paper. For some reason the design incorporates deer. 

Florist's wrapping paper ( 2)

Yet another example of the genre of florist's wrapping paper. Printed on a thin, but glossy paper like the rest, this particular example shows a subtle pattern in black and blue.  The dark colors would form a pleasing contrast to the brilliant bouquets that these papers are intended to protect. 

Florist's Wrapping paper

This specimen was found wrapping a bunch of flowers that were purchased in a Singaporean market.

 It is printed on a thin, glossy paper. It displays a pattern of (American) footballs, and the words "TOUCH DOWN". For whatever reason the phrase is printed in mirror image. 

Christmas wrapping paper (1)

This rather garish piece of wrapping paper has an obvious Christmas theme. Although it is fragmentary, one can easily make up the pattern of baubles and snowflakes.
  This pattern may very well have been cobbled together from an assemblage of stock art, overlaid over one another. It looks crude, and childish. But, as you can see, it has protected a present well. If that's the case, who are we to judge? 

Striped wrapping paper (2)

This is another example of the fine "minimalist" styles of wraping paper that have recently been popular. It is printed on a fine brown paper, in three colours. The colours are a dull brown, a dull blue, and a rather pleasing gold ink.

The overall effect is rather pleasing. The muted colours of the background form a pleasant contrast to the shimmering gold stripes. As you can see, this sheet of paper once wrapped a present. Its impatient recipient tore the wrapper to the state you see here.
