"E" (2)

A contribution to my 'What or whom is she staring at?' mail art project, also showing some animals: the Human and the Bunny on the envelope, and three Monkeys inside. Received from "E", ambassadeur d'Utopia.



Check E's website for his present mail art project, "The migrants - Isolated Minors - Europe, Promised Land?".

Merci beaucoup, "E"!

A glimpse behind the Real Weird Animals blog's scenes, this is what the blog curator (I, in my case) can see :-)



Last month's page views, top ten countries. I wonder whether all viewers would be animal / mail art lovers!?

Kerosene (9)

Beautiful artistamps, made by Darlene Altschul, from California, sent to me by Kerosene from Canada!

Besides the Turtles / Tortoises on these stamps she also added this Sea Turtle, probably swum from an encyclopedia:



And some other interesting creatures:



All arrived in this envelope:



Thank you very much, Kerosene!

Minneapolis Gnome

Wow, such wonderful drawings!
Created by Minneapolis Gnome from Minneapolis (well, the Rhinoceros and Tortoise originally are from Tucson, Arizona).



Along these animals and gnome the staring lady returned, with an inspiring new surrounding: the Gnome's studio.



All arrived in this great envelope:



Thank you very much, Minneapolis Gnome!

Tonipoet (6)

The Komodo Varanus (or Komodo Dragon) always has fascinated me, and I am happy to receive this (presently largest) lizard, created by Tonipoet.

She created a pretty envelope around it, too. I am fond of cartoons and animation movies, so always happy to receive envelopes like this. It is from a movie which I didn't see though (I only saw part 1), 'How to train your Dragon 2'.



Thank you very much, Toni!

Katerina Nikoltsou (20)

A nice envelope arrived from Katerina's place. Greek Post has interesting Bird stamps: Origami Birds!



This wonderful Mail Owl is part of the back side of the envelope:



Inside a great piece of mixed media mail art.

The front side I already posted in the IUOMA 'Onions' group.
On the back side these tiny Elephants. And note the artistamp by Keith Chambers:



And of course the famous goddess Pallas Athena.

Thank you very much, Katerina!

Thom Courcelle (2)

Lots of Animals in Thom's mail. Beautiful Birds stamps, and here's something with the Cow.



More Birds, on stamps and envelope - and do you notice the special stamp from the Heart Republik (République du Coeur)?!:



And a Human Bunny (or a Bunny Human?):



Finally a drawing of a Human:



Thank you very much, Thom!
