Mail Art Martha (2)

Great Happy Chinese New Year wish from Mail Art Martha.
It's the year of the horse, now. So note the fantastic rubber stamp print, also of the Horse!



Thank you very much, Mail Art Martha!

Valentine Mark Herman (2)

An other weird interesting Austalian animal is the Monitor Lizard (Varanus), a large reptile.
Here pictured by Valentine Mark Herman, who makes a lot of great dot-art, and sent me this from France.



And see the postage stamp, a new French stamp, about which you can find some more information on Hawwa's weblog. By the augmented picture on her website I learned to take a closer look to this stamp and learned that there's not only this La Poste woman, but also two playing children on the picture.

Thank you very much, Valentine, for your wonderful mail art!
Concerning the self portrait on the back, er, I'll reply to you by mail art :-)

Katerina Nikoltsou (5)

These lovely animals were born thanks to an onion and a postage stamp.



On the back nice artistamps. And behold the famous Greek cat!
This must be mail art from Katerina Nikoltsou from Greece!

Thank you very much, Katerina, for these new contribution to the Real Weird Animals!

Valentine Mark Herman

This beautiful Platypus was created by Valentine Mark Herman from France, or from the Aborigine Settlement in Sigean to be more precise.

I love this dotted Platypus and I love the turquoise surroundings. Thank you very much, Val!

From Vizma B.? From Marie W.? From TongJianCheng!

An interesting parcel arrived in the Netherlands, all the way from China.
From an unknown sender!



Containing a present, which made me very Happy!
A beautiful fabric pen case, with a very friendly text, accompanied by two friendly vegetarian animals: the long-eared Rabbit, and the long-necked Giraffe.



Always 'in' for nice surprises. But also always too curious to know where my received mail comes from... Frustrating to not know that...

Wait... Look at my name above the address. How could the unknown sender know that I had a discussion about 'babbelaars' lately?



(About 'roomboterbabbelaars', even!) That could have been some Princess, or Peeee. Or accompanying Person.




Anyway, who-ever the generous sender is (Vizmaaaa!): Thank you very, very much!!

Vizma Bruns (2)

A Platypus from the land of the Platypus: Australia!

Thanks to Vizma Bruns we can learn the story of the Old Man Platypus...



.. and learn how to have a drink while being in a Fish Tank! (My bottle of course contains water, or coffee.)
(What happened to Marie?)



Nice stamps, even a Mailogram and an original Vizma Artistamp!

This Giant Lobster was on the smallest part of the mail:



And this is a piece of fabric which really asks for being added some more stitches to!



And last but not least: a great transparent dotted envelope, with on the stamp... an Echidna, yay!



Thank you very much, Vizma!

Amy Irwen

This beautiful Platypus swam to me thanks to Amy Irwen from the U.S.A.
And he/she is not alone, also a Pink Eared Duck - who has a funny bill, too - and Duckling accompanied this brave mammal.

Look at the fine pen lines! In real, the silver lines of the bill of this platypus are shining as if he/she is swimming in a silvery water. Beautiful! Thank you very much, Amy!
