The New Year 2018 just has started. And in one and half month an other New Year will begin: the Year of the Dog.

The mail art Katerina has sent to me a few weeks ago, matches with both years, as you can see!



The front side of the Dog card shows blue:



And inside the envelope there is an other envelope, a red felt one meant for Santa, so to see. But first we park the Squirrels here!





On the back side of the outer envelope there are Katerina's famous stamp prints:



Thank you very much, Katerina, and happy New Years!

Who could ever have thought that this piece of orange mail art would have something to do with Animals?



Well, it does: Bats on the back side!



And how can this Goldfish be related to Mammals?



Well, just add some Horses on the back!



Created and sent by Katerina from Greece.



Thank you very much, Katerina!

An impressive animal swam to my place: a Whale!

Sent by Katerina from Greece, and she added a clue to the 'what or whom is she staring at?' card:



Indeed, apples, onions and.. more impressive animals: Dinosaurs!



Along with some orange:



And this lovely Goldfish:



And some money, to check whether I am bribable or not:



Thank you very much, Katerina!

Katerina always knows how to cheer one up by her mail art. This time happy Cows from Paris entered my mailbox, via Greece.



On the back the Greek Owl, and some Squirrels. The Squirrels had escaped the inside of an envelope of a Dutch sustainable bank, and thus had traveld from the Netherlands to Greece and back again.



The animals were accompanied by a blue Greek moon. And more artistamps:



Also enclosed this egg head stamp, made and sent to Katerina by Ed Giecek:



Since Katerina run out of air mail envelopes, some new things happen to her present blank envelopes. This one got lines instead of air mail red-and-blue. And pretty stamps showing the ancient Greek god Poseidon:



Thank you very much, Katerina!

Jimmy Connors

As a child I was afraid of monkeys and clowns. So the front side of this envelope, created and sent by F. 'Jimmy Connors' Schneider, is not the one I would choose immediately. Fortunately the monkeys are mathematic heroes (they wrote the name of their favourite mathematician behind them), and the other side of the re-used envelope shows awesome stamps.



In the same week an other envelope from F. 'Jimmy Connors' Schneider arrived. Showing a friendly woman, a man who I don't trust, and look what the lady is holding in her hand: a fine-toothed (lice) comb, or a letter?



Thank you very much, Jimmy, vielen Dank, F.!

Spring has started and tomorrow will be Easter. So a good time to show Katerina's bunny here!



Along with the Rabbit an original artistamp arrived. It shows an interesting Bird, apparently created by bird lovers and bird drawers FinnBadger and Stripygoose:



And two contributions to my 'what or whom is she staring at?' mail art project:



Here you see some details, showing a who-hoo-Owl. The complete picture I'll show at the WOWISSA-blog.



The mail came in this nice envelope, showing an other Greek Owl:



And a Greek sports winner:



Thank you very much, Katerina, and Happy Easter!

Here he is, our dear deep sea friend: the Blobfish!

Created and sent from Greece by Katerina Nikoltsou.



The Blobfish came in one of these envelopes:



See Thom Courcelle's 'safety pin' artistamp:



The envelopes' stamps show Human beings:





(I don't know why female dancers need less postage than male dancers?)

The other envelope contained Owls:



And they contained Katerina's contribution to my 'what or whom is she staring at?' mail art project:




Thank you very much, Katerina!
