Stripygoose (5)



An other piece of mail art, sent also for the International Banana Day, has been created by Stripygoose from the UK. I love birds, so I always am pleasantly surprised by Stripygoose's creations. Even though the theme this time was 'Bananas', she added birds on her mail art to me!



Thank you very much, Stripygoose!

Angie & Snooky



This collage, showing a pug, has been created by Angie (I guess, assisted by Snooky) from the USA.



The stamp shows another interesting and famous mammal, the Bat (and Batman).

By the way, this collage was sent also for the International Banana Day!

Thank you very much, Angie and Snooky!

The Chameleon always is an amazing lizard, by it's ability to change colours.
Miranda Vissers created an even more amazing Chameleon. Or would it be a 'Butterflies Animal'?

Thank you very much, dankjewel, Miranda!

I received these Season's Greetings already before the New Year started, but just now I have time to scan and post it...

Great (Rein)Deer Bird and Robin (and Snowman) from Stripgoose.



Thank you very much, Stripygoose!

This mail art was created by Micu. So sweet! This tiny bird and rabbit (or hare) have arrived safe and sound, to wish me - and all of us/you Happy Holidays!



Thank you very much, Micu!

Carina (2)



Over a month ago it was International Banana Day, and I received and sent Banana Mail Art.
In some of the mail art, when looking closer, there were some animals, too!

This one I received from Carina from Finland. It's a nice looking animal: the 'Gordeldier' ('Belt animal') we say in Dutch, or 'Vyötiäiset' in Suomi, also known as the Armadillo.
And see the special stamp: honeycomb shaped, as if the Finnish mail has cooperated with the Bees!



Thank you very much, Carina!

Vizma Bruns (4)



Vizma Bruns made me extremely happy by adding a lot of Platypus to her mail art. As you might know, all animals are my favourite animals, but some animals are a bit more favourite than others. The Platypus is one of them.

On the back of the envelope some beautiful rubber stamp prints. Among them many fish, an Octopus and the famous Bunny:



And inside, among others, a Painter / Artist. Some people consider painters / artists as a weird kind of humans, too, and we all know (but some of the same 'some people' don't like to concede) that also Humans are Animals :-)




Thank you very much, Vizma!
