A Bee, a Butterfly and a Boodschap (= message in Dutch).



'Renounce acedia' (had to look up the word in the dictionary)... So true. However I think mail artists don't need to do so, they suffer from acedia :-)

Thank you very much, Keith!

On instagram of course I get attracted by Snail pictures, of Mail Snail, common Snails and all kinds of Snails more.
One very interesting snaily account is Snail a Day. I was so lucky to exchange snail mail with the creator, Claudia from Scotland. She drew me this wonderful Snail party. Besides the Snails, you also can see Worms and Bees being happy!

Also the envelope is great:



Inside the envelope, among a kind message and more pictures, Claudia added these wonderful Snail photos:







Thank you very much, Claudia!

I wish I had a lot of guitar- and noise making stamps to reply to GX Jupitter-Larsen. He again made my day by sending so many animals on an envelope. Animals on stamps, even!



Grazie mille, muchisimas gracias, muito obrigado, tack så mycket, tusen takk, þakka þér kærlega fyrir, mange tak, dankon tre multa, thank you very, very much, GX!

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!

Bea Savellano

Collage showing several kinds of animals! A bird, fish, a mollusc, and on the backside (see below) an insect. And if you look well, you can find even a mammal, too!

Sent from the USA by Bea Savellano. Thank you very much, Bea!
