As you probably have noticed, especially when you have sent Animals Mail Art to me, I am much behind in posting the wonderful mail art I received so far.
To the pictures I am posting I want to add the right, matching words. However, being a kind of perfectionist, and having other parts of daily life taking a lot of my time, posting takes this much time, that in fact I even don't post anyway.

From visiting other mail artists' blogs I learned that words aren't necessary at all. And of course it should be like that: art speaks for itself, most of the time.

Therefore, from now on, I will try to keep up posting, under the motto "More images, less words" :-)

Katerina Nikoltsou spool knitted this marvelous cute Snake Snail and I am happy she send him'/her to me!

On the back side she added a nice text and these pretty artistamps:



Inside the envelope an other collage, showing time and a Giant Panda:



All camearrived in this blue anvelope, watched by Katerina's famous Greek Cat:



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!

Nice experiment: take an addresslist of one of the Brain Cell Life Forms of Ryosuke Cohen, turn it into an envelope, choose one of the addresses, add a stamp and send!
Some envelopes don't arrive, and some do.
For instance this one! Sent from Greece by Katerina Nikoltsou.



Inside the envelope the Blue Bunny, and two cats, and the Ray Johnson Bunny. Animals who deserve to live among all other real (weird) animals here :-)



P.S. The Easter Bunny in Dutch we call 'Paashaas', which means 'Easter Hare'. While the two of them are different animals!

Thank you very much, Katerina!

Received from Antonia Mayol Castelló, this beautiful collage. It shows the picture of the announcement of the mail art exhibition 'Caminos de Agua' - 'Paths of Water', and some of the contributions. You can see how many animals (including humans) are dependent of water!

And you can find the catalog of the exhibition in a pdf here.



This picture proofs that fish are better off in water than above fire.



Great bird rubber stamps.
Thank you very much, muchas gracias, Antonia!

A Camel inside a refrigerator arrived in this envelope:



And this is the inside of the refrigerator:



Part of the 'Time' project from Katerina Nikoltsou from Greece.
Katerina included also two add-and-pass-on envelopes from/to Berlin, and artistamps from Artstamp.DK, which I can use well for my mail.

Such a nice surprise, Katerina, love all of it! Thank you very much, ευχαριστώ πολύ!
