Kerosene (7)

Kerosene always knows to find special animal pictures. I thought I've received all of them throughout the years, but fortunately the source had not yet run out.
The Gerbil, Pinguin and Sea Horse. What to say... Weird and lovely, all of them!

She also sent some colourful artistamps...



...and something to prepare for the New Year!



Only ten days left for the Chinese New Year, which will start the 19th of February and will be the Year of the Sheep and the Goat!



Thank you very much, Kerosene!

Kerosene (4)

I think it a sacrifice, or even: almost impossible, to cut in pieces and send away something dear. Kerosene did!
So I feel honoured. Thank you very much, Kerosene, for this very special - real embroidered - Tiger!

Kerosene

It's so miraculous (and weird!), the metamorphosis of butterflies.

Received from Kerosene from Canada.

And note so many kinds of animals on the backside: a bird, a human (skull), an other insect (I always wonder why people say 'aah' to butterflies and meanwhile slash these other innocent insects) and on the stamp a snake (whose year is soon to begin!).

Thank you very much, Kerosene!

Kerosene & Flypaper

'La Malaisie est en parte couverte de jungle' - Malaysia is partly covered with jungle.
'... not so long ago', Kerosene adds...
I think deforestation is such a shame and pity (and we all contribute to that, as long as we aren't aware of what we buy, and keep on buying). As biodiversity and all of our 'lungs' suffer from that highly. All rain forests who have gone, are gone for all our lifetimes... Protection and common sense needed!

Thank you so much, Kerosene, for this aware mail art!

Carolyn Oord

What a big surprise! After having sent the very first contribution to the 'Solitude' mail art project, Carolyn Oord continued to make me happy by sending these eight weird mammals from Canada. Or even more animals (do I see moose or reindeer calves on the stamp? And a walking fish rubber stamp print!)!

Thank you very much, Carolyn!
