Labcorp Envelope

As a vegetarian, I sometimes have issues with iron deficiency and needed lab testing to confirm. The lab kindly sent me a bill for their services, including a return envelope with a repeating pattern of lines as a privacy shield. When I saw those lines, it struck me as the perfect project for a Trash + Time piece, and I dedicated myself to embroidering the envelope with a simple, colorful pattern of back stitches that followed the printed lines. The work took a long time to finish, but I found the process soothing and ultimately satisfying. Does this at all make you look at envelopes in a new way?
