Call for Mail Art: Weird (existing) Animals! Platypus, Tapir, Okapi, Echidna, Mole, Axolotl are some of my favourite animals. They have in common that they exist irl and that they are uncommon. Which animal do you think odd? Send your image of an unusual (existing, no fantasy) animal. All media are welcomed, preferable postcard size (10x15 cms), maximum A4 (20x30 cms). No jury, no fee, no return. All weird existing animals will be published in this ongoing virtual exhibition.

In the title I counted nr 35, although that is incorrect: Katerina has made and send me much more great and very much appreciated mail art. Only lack of time made me publish just a few pieces of mail art in the past years.
This Whale in Space is one of the examples of Katerina's wonderful mail art works, mixed media (acryl paint, collage) and caused a big smile on my face, as big as the whale's smile.
Thank you very much, Katerina!

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!

A beautiful Bird stamp appeared on the envelope Katerina had sent me from Greece. Thanks to her post in the 'Lapoused'/ 'Birds' group I learned that this Bird is from the Byzantine Museum.
In the envelope a lot of other mail art.
Like this Orange and Onions mail, with wonderful artistamps - among them the fish you've seen here before recently!

Banana, more orange, and pumpkin (Halloween) mail:


A contribution to my 'What or whom is she staring at?' mail art project:

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!

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!
