Did I ever tell that Platypus mail art steals my heart?
Carina had the Platypus do so, by sending a wonderful piece of mail art from Finland.



Well, at first sight it was not clear. A brown envelope, showing a mushroom stamp.
And a Robot...



... or not a Robot...



But when I opened the envelope, I saw the beautiful Platypus you see on top!

Also inside, an original piece of great art by Carina, titled 'Roots':



When looking further, there suddenly appeared two cousins, two Monotremes... My favourite Australian mammals!
An other Platypus...



... and the Echidna!



Finally a nice piece of mail art, to which I hope to add something soon because it is missing something, so I can return it to Carina:



Thank you very much, Carina!

Pictures (mail art, stamps, anything) showing Echidna or Platypus make me extremely happy.

This way Tonipoet succeeded to bring a broad smile on my face and a ton full of energy to my body on a tiring day, by adding this original Echidna stamp to her collage.
The art work is #533 and named "Prehistoric Australia". Although Echidna and other monotremes seem - and are! - prehistoric, fortunately they also live in present Australia.

The Echidna arrived, accompanied by two Easter Bunnies and a Cat, who so to see got lost in Paris but soon will find her way again thanks to the map.



Both cards came in a beautiful Wolf envelope,



Of which the back side is a piece of abstract art in itself:



Thank you very much, Toni!
