"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!

Wonderful envelope created and sent by FinnBadger. He added great matching bird stamps, too.

The envelope was based on a calendar with pictures by the great artist Charley Harper.
See the variation of birds! I consider my own drawing style sometimes far too realistic, so I feel I can learn from Harper's minimal and so well depicting style.

Love it, thank you very much, FinnBadger!
