Denise Souray



Wow, see this Dragonfly! Amazing mixed media mail art created by Denise Souray from Canada.
When I watched closer, I suddenly saw that this Dargonfly has been created from unexpected, yet so suitable material. Do you see it?

And funny, coincidental: recently I was thinking of creating Maple leaf mail art to send to some other mail artist in Canada (I had collected some maple leaves last autumn for this purpose). I still didn't find enough time to do so, however at the same time, overseas, Denise must have turned these Maple seeds into this beautiful fragile insect.



And do we call a dragonfly (in Dutch: libelle) sometimes a helicopter for the way he/she stays in the air at the same place for some time, the maple seed we sometimes call a helicopter, too, when we have it fall from the third floor and see it turn like helicopter wings on its way to the ground!



By the way: see these wonderful Dinosaur stamps, too!

Thank you very much, Denise, it's beautiful!

Svetlana Volosiuk



An amazing animal, created by Svetlana Volosiuk from Belarus.

On the back so much more to see. I love languages, so I'm happy that Svetlana added these ephemera in a language which I still have to explore.



And see the beautiful artistamp on the envelope, which matches to the right arm of the weird collaged animal!



More art you can find here, and more mail art by Svetlana you can find on her website.

Thank you very much, Svetlana!

Humberto Miguel Jiménez



A nice surprise from Mexico! This picture of the Damselfly has been created by Humberto Miguel Jiménez.
The Spanish name 'caballito del diablo' literally means 'devil's pony'. In Dutch we call this amazing creature 'Waterjuffer', which means 'Young lady of the water', or 'Señorita del agua' in Spanish.



Also the Mexican Post added a nice Bird sticker to the envelope.

Thank you very much, muchas gracias, Humberto!

Denise



Some weeks ago I swapped mail art envelopes via the marvelous LEP. I thought this swap was one-to-one, so I was surprised to receive envelopes from a totally different person from the one I had sent my envelopes to.

And I was not only the lucky receiver of three beautiful envelopes, but also of a great drawing - hidden in one of these - of the Carolina Writing Spider, famous for the patterns in her web. Drawn by Denise from the USA - thanks a lot, Denise!

And note the Dragonfly... Fortunately this insect turned and succeeded to escape from the arachnid (poor spider, who remains hungry..).
