Probably in May 2017, one stranger from Hechingen/Germany will receive this card, during a street performance. He or she will meet Queen Katerina and her greetings. She/he has the possibility to reply  to her. Thank you very much Katerina for your contribution to the project. …

Wonderful Christmas gift from Helle Pollas.  It's a decoupage painting on canvas size 15 by 15 cm.  I love the fresh and vibrant citrus colours.
