I'm down with that...

Hey Katerina! Two suggestions: i) you post these images way AFTER the Space Day -- otherwise it spoils the element of surprise for the rest of us if we are all going to get the same sort of piece; ii) you act as the Space Day Photo-Archivist and keep a record of all of them -- again AFTER the Space Day.

Wotcha think?

And Postage stamps that today tell another "story" and "history":

4 mail art pieces arrived in Greece today, Friday, March 18, 2011. Always with mail art comes an array of postage stampin and stampings. They tell a story, even before we open to see the art that is contained inside. Here is, at the top, from Hamburg, Germany: a QR Code...quick response code, no longer any need for perforated stamps. Then there is our ferless leader, Val, in France, sending a great collage of kitty-cat US stamps (more of the horde I've sent him).

Always beautiful and exotic are the stamps that Cheryl sends from South Africa! And then there was this heart-stopper....from Marie  in Japan. she had sent out her "Circles of your mind" mail art book on the day of the earthquake. It is postmarked 11.III.11 ...March 11, 2011, last Friday.

May she be safe and well, and our thoughts go to all in Japan. May Spring and butterflies and flowers, and children playing with grandmother ...all return soon!

Stamps with a Story! Val has made a great "Menu" from the mass amount of old US postage stamps I have been sending him. This is amazing...and yummy!

Postal History...and Postage with a Story! from Japan:

Japanese postage stamps on two mail art pieces that arrived today in Greece. They were mailed with such joy, with such cheer...a moment in time BEFORE the destruction of the earthquake and the tsunami, before  fears and saddness. One cancellation reads 7 III 11, March 7, 2011, from Tokyo, and the other reads on the lower left: 8 III...., March 8, 2011. I shall treasure this mail art and the stamps that brought them to me before disaster. May the senders be safe and well.

Had to post this mail art from leader Val Mark Herman. I just loooove when he adds all the rainbow colored stamps of the Queen! Thank you, Val and cheers, Princess Kate
