Usually, if I post regular cards, I do so on an other location.
But these Dragons came in such an amazing mail art envelope, that I decided to use them as an alibi to post the envelope here on the Real Weird Animals blog.



And notice the stamps! Issued in honour of 150 years of Canada, the complete serie contains ten different stamps, depicting ten unforgettable moments from the past 50 years.

Created by FinnBadger from the USA, who managed to send it via Canada! That amazing journey is worth noting, too!

Thank you very much, FinnBadger!

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!
