Ruud Janssen (6), Cavellini

I was pleasantly surprised and felt very much honoured when I opened Ruud Janssen's wonderful painted envelope.
Among nice sheets and ephemera he also sent me this sticker, showing a Cow. A special one: this one had been created by Cavellini, who gave this sticker to Ruud in 1991.

On the envelope Ruud added a matching postage stamp:



I can't remember having seen Cavellini's Cow before, but I must have been unconsciously inspired by the shape of this cow when I created my own Cow recently. Later I learned of Rocola's Bull stamp, but that is a different one.

Thank you very much, Ruud, hartelijk dank voor deze bijzondere verrassing!

Katerina Nikoltsou (7)

Katerina got me !
'Of course there is a Camel in the refrigerator', I thought, as history had proofed this.
A Stripy Camel, as you see, even, familiar to Stripy Geese.

However, I became largely surprised when I opened the fridge. No Camel, but....



.. a Bunny instead!
Almost a Real Ray Johnson Bunny - but a special one: a Katerina-blue coloured Bunny.



I think from today on, I'll never regard Easter bunnies anymore without thinking of Mail Art!

On the envelope Katerina added a G.A.C. sticker:



Thank you very much, Katerina, OPA, ευχαριστώ πολύ!
