The National Literacy Trust worked with Pitney Bowes once
again this year to raise funds with Pushing The Envelope 2005.
We asked a number of famous faces to contribute individual
designs to envelopes, and these original works of art were
framed and auctioned on ebay in October.
48 celebrity-designed envelopes went under the hammer, including
Sir Ian McKellen's excellent Gandalf sketch (right), and fantastic
designs by Raymond Briggs, Joanne Harris, Jacqueline Wilson
and Rod Campbell. The hottest property, however, was an original
by Damien Hirst.
The auction raised over £11,000 for the work of the
National Literacy Trust. Our thanks must go to Pitney Bowes
for their support of this fundraising event - www.pitneybowes.co.uk.
