Happy New Year wishes from Amuldo!



A Bird, Cst, Llama, triangles and Christmas tree. They came in this great envelope:



And inside the envelope also a triangle,


which, when unfolded, shows this interesting call for mail art. Almost four weeks left before the deadline of Amuldo's TRAssshART project:



Thank you very much, hartelijk dank, Amuldo!

Great pen drawings by Amuldo from the Netherlands. And out of the 20 stamps stampsheet, she choose my favourite stamp: the one with the Postman!



Hartelijk dank, Amuldo, en ook voor jou en de jouwen een heel v(sp)oorspoedig 2014!

'(lonesome?) Squirrel awoke from his winter sleep and discovered that it already was Spring!'



Thank you very much Amuldo for this surprise! Hartelijk dank, Amuldo, voor je Lentegroet!

An other beautiful amazing animal sent by Amuldo from the Netherlands: the Octopus! Or better: Octopus meets the Squirrel.



"'Do you think me weird?!', the octopus asked the squirrel.
The squirrel watched him and hesitated for a while.
'I mean, with all those arms and suction cups,' the octopus said.
His cheeks turned grey and he looked down.
'Not at all', the squirrel said. 'I don't think you weird.'
'I am not weird indeed', the octopus said in a low voice....."

Watch the - again great - stamps, and the messages on the rubber-stamped waves (click on the picture to enlarge)!

The text has been written by the Dutch writer Toon Tellegen. For the people who never heard of Toon Tellegen (pronounce the Dutch name 'Toon' more or less as 'Tone'): to my opinion, I think it's worth reading more work of this author. He writes short stories about all kinds of weird animals (well, after reading this short story I'm afraid they're not that weird anymore!). Apparently about animals, but of course providing us humans a lot of food for thought.

Thanks a lot, hartelijk dank voor deze leuke verrassing, Amuldo!

Amuldo sent me this amazing squirrel. 'Amazing', not only amazingly pictured but - to my opinion - also amazing looking into and considering the world as if he or she is wondering about all things which can be seen.



The question the Squirrel (de eekhoorn) asks is 'Do you think me weird?'
Well, agreeing with Dewi's choice, my answer would be, with a respectful smile: 'So what if the answer would be 'yes'? Aren't we humans weird, too?!'

P.S. note the fine artistamps!

Amuldo has a great call for mail art: 'project 55'. See for more details this website.

Thank you, dank je voor deze bijzondere eekhoorn, Amuldo!
