Great collage by Fleur Helsingor showing Birds on a photographed background.
These birds came in an envelope, made out of a photo collage of a nearby café window's display of photos and art.



Fleur also returned my add-and-return, from a serie which I will blog on IUOMA on a later date. Here already a part of it, thanks to the other wonderful Bird:



Thank you very much, Fleur!

Alan Brignull

I think it clear why Alan Brignull is one of my biggest Artistamp Heroes. The stamp sheet shown above does not need further comments (besides the fact that there's an animal shown: the Hedgehog), to my opinion it simply is perfect.



The stamp sheet was accompanied by this Dove.



And arrived in an envelope with signs of the famous Adanaland.



Thank you very much, Alan!

Eva (22)

A belated blog post as you can see: it's the 15th of June today, so not before four months after sending, this friendly Dragon finally landed into this online gallery.

Created by Eva who has sent him/her from Spain.



I always love Eva's drawings, and I think you'll enjoy these as much as I do!



The Dragons arrived in this envelope (note the Doves/Pigeons on the stamp!). And while we are sure that Dragons are real, existing weird animals, I am not that sure about the Aliens, also appearing (a bit hidden in their homes and transport means) on the cover.

Thank you very much, moltes gràcies, Eva!

An armed Rabbit and an air mail Pigeon.

Personally I prefer mail to arms, and I wouldn't be surprised if many mail artists do so, too. At least the great artistamps - which were part of the content of this envelope - are hopeful: sunflowers will be growing larger and are reaching higher than tanks do.



Created and sent by Keith S. Chambers.



The front side of the card shows food for thought, a true quote:



Thank you very much, Keith!

This Cow I think fascinating, and for some unknown reason she makes me think of strawberry ice cream...

Created and sent from Russia by Eduard Egorov.

On the back side a beautiful Mail Dove, with suitable text:



Eduard has an interesting ongoing mail art project: Окна в мир (Okn w mir), 'Windows to the world'. Be sure to check his website and join this project!

Thank you very much, Eduard!

Kim JungYoun

Beautiful Bird and beautiful message. Created and sent by Kim JungYoun from Korea.



She also added beautiful stationery, and this suitable postage stamp from Japan - I love vegetables on stamps, and I'm sure the Dove has enjoyed the corn during the trip, too.



More animals on the envelope, and/at amazing beautiful postage stamps!



Thank you very much, Kim!

Katerina Nikoltsou

A Cat, and a Greek Post Pigeon...




... and Seagulls above a calm sea while the sun (coin) sets...



Created and sent from Greece by Katerina Nikoltsou.
Thank you very much, ευχαριστώ, Κατερίνα!



And don't these Onions look like Dolphins jumping above a misty water?

Eva (8)

Three birds in one: the Dove (who brings peace), the Crane (used in the Lufthansa logo) and the famous bird Tweety (who can fly and run!).
Created and sent by Eva, who also created this typographic - I love typography! - envelope.



Fortunately the Cat has his eyes covered, so he'll leave the birds in peace this time.
And no, the envelope isn't upseide-down: it now clearly shows the Arab letter 'H'!



Thank you very much, Eva!
