"Startled Armadillo" is the title of this fascinating piece of mail art, created and sent by Toni Hanner. I love Armadillos (named 'Gordeldier' in Dutch, which literally means 'belt animal'). And I hope this fellow doesn't have to be in fear for a too long time..

The Armadillo came in this cool (or hot) envelope:



Thank you very much, Toni!

Over a month ago it was International Banana Day, and I received and sent Banana Mail Art.
In some of the mail art, when looking closer, there were some animals, too!

This one I received from Carina from Finland. It's a nice looking animal: the 'Gordeldier' ('Belt animal') we say in Dutch, or 'Vyötiäiset' in Suomi, also known as the Armadillo.
And see the special stamp: honeycomb shaped, as if the Finnish mail has cooperated with the Bees!



Thank you very much, Carina!

The Aye-aye already has been considered a weird animal a few times here (and there), but I've never seen this extraordinary fellow this close!
And until now I never realized that this ant eating mammal is so small. Thanks to Connie Jean we can see that he/she even fits in one human hand!



The envelope shows great rubber stamp prints. Among the famous Bunny and a glimpse of a Fish, also Alligators and a cool Armadillo.



More mail art by Connie Jean you can find on Mullet Mail.



Thank you very much, Connie!
