Fun envelopes, Tomoe!

 Envelope sent by Catherine

Another Vilvine

Thank you Jan Hodgman ! 

I want to experiment more...

I just sent them out but the postoffice said Australia is strict about content and design on envelope because they consider us sending there vegetation in mail. They suggested me to re-packed and put in the regular envelope. (it was regular envelope but I wrapped up with ad paper) so I sent as more simple with some stamps. 

But after I told to the sender in OZ, she said it is not true and she send or get any kind of envelopes. 

I would like to know if any countries have strict rules of contents or the design of the envelops? (disregards of weapons and drugs that we already know in common.... )

Cool new painted envelope from Ruud! 

(I would like to say Ruurd because he says Herleen, but the Mailman had no problem to find me, so it is okay :-) )
Thank you very much, Ruud, heel erg bedankt, ook voor de interessante en mooi te gebruiken inhoud!

Katerina sent me a fascinating black-and-white envelope from Greece. It seems to be an inside of an other envelope, and I wonder how the makers could have invented a zentangled pattern like this.
Still fascinating, I like it!

Inside this envelope there was a lot of orange, which I posted in the Orange Lovers IUOMA group.

Thank you very much, Katerina!

This awesome envelope has been created by Barbara Fanta.

There's a bird on it (I love birds! And this one has been beautifully drawn!) so I also posted it on my animals blog.

Thank you very much, Barbara!

A beauty from Louise Heroux in Canada - she put out a mailart call for envelopes because Canada is going to stop delivering post to people's houses soon :-( I sent her something and she replied with this lovely envelope and a delightful message inside. I don't think she's on iuoma.

I enjoy making envelopes from pages of the books no one ever seems to open anymore, especially atlases and dictionaries. I figure if no one is willing to dig into the depths to find the beauty then I'll bring it to the light.MailartCollage.jpg
