Mail Art Received Second Week of February

With great elation I received Susanna’s beautifully crafted Letter Q contribution to Project 26 – a mythological artifact.  It even carries the fragrance of a mythological order of Flutterby.  Susanna is a fellow Alternate Realitarian I can see.

Send to  the Mail Art Call, titled "GEORGE MACIUNAS AND BEYOND : FLUXUS NEVER STOPS".
The Exhibition will be part of  TEXTILE 11/KAUNAS BIENNIAL / FLUXUS,  in Lithuania in 2011.

Mail Art  from  Eduardo Cardoso (Paranormal Mail Art)

Received second week February 2011.

An Ardent Zalopist, Eduardo made the FIRST ZALOP video in the whole world! Imagine that? He sent me a ZALOP  trading card from a Duel Masters game – ok, I’m wading in the dark here??
