Katerina Nikoltsou (14)

Katerina Nikoltsou from Greece surprised me with an awesome invention: the Baggy Boekie! A booklet made out of paper bags, so with room for more mail art.
She was so thoughtful to add some animals to it, so I have a good reason to post it here! (Or was it the 100 euros with which she bribed me to do so? :-) )



I always love to see Katerina's Mail Pigeon. And of course the other animals, a Hummingbird on the front side (see above), and a frog:



And - watch out for them, dear birds and frog! - inside two cats:





And inside the inviting small envelope she added washi tape in my favourite colour!
Thank you very much, Katerina!

Ciara Barsotti (2)

Beautiful pet Rat drawn by Ciara from the USA on her mail to me.
THank you very much, Ciara!

Diana Hale

This beautiful Fish print has been created by Diana Hale from the USA.



Inside the envelope was this postcard, showing the Philpott Lake. Diana sent it to me and to several other people to add to it and return, on behalf of the Philpott Lake mail art project. I have several ideas on what to add to it (or delete from it, or remove some parts). The ideas still are fresh and green, so what it will become, time will tell :-)

Mail Art Martha (7)

This Mouse jumped into our house, thanks to Mail Art Martha!

The mouse is a mammal, similar to mankind and to superheroes.
Martha's envelope contained several of them. Most important is this hero: the Postman!




In the Queendom in which Mail Art Martha is living, it is Postman Kevin who supplies Martha of all kinds of delicious mail art.
A real hero, who deserves to be on a stamp himself, and fortunately Martha issued a Postman Kevin stamp. You can see the stamp showing Kevin here, and if you look close, an other Postman is honoured, too, by a rubber stamp print: the Snail Mail Snail!



These came on this great envelope (I love cartoons/comics on envelopes), front side and back side:




Also in this envelope these peculiar Medieval People flew into my house:



Thank you very much, Mail Art Martha!

Nicole Eippers (18)

An other couple of real weird animals, collage created and sent by Nicole Eippers.
I was wondering how these two are named - apart from the well-known Pig silhouet and Butterfly stamp. Fortunately Nicole added some information: the one on the left is a Douroucouli, or Night Monkey, the only monkey who has a totally active night life.
And the - here big, but in real smaller than 1.5 mm - fellow on the right is a Tardigrade (literally 'Slow Walker'), also known as Waterbear, both names have been chosen for the way they walk.

Visual food for thought! Thank you very much, merci beaucoup, Nicole!
