Rec'd from Eduardo Cardoso - Nov 2015

I was pleased to receive an envelope of two pieces from Eduardo Cardoso this week. I have admired his art greatly since I discovered it a few months ago.

I received an invitation by mail to exchange mail art with Pia Z. That seems very appropriate. Above is the nice, simple stamp art on the back of the postcard she sent. Thank you, Pia!
