Monotype from Michalis Kotsaris, Greece

This is beautiful. It is number one of a series of two monotypes, created by Michalis Kotsaris. I am really curious about the technique. The paper is handmade, I guess. Thank you, Michalis.

Photo for biograph - Carina Granlund, Finland

Another colourful piece of Mail Art that raises questions. Carina went to Kristinestad in Finland, to take this beautiful picture. It is from a biograph. The tickets may suggest she had to take a plane to do this project. Very intriguing. Thank you, Carina.

From Guido Vermeulen - Belgium

Another great piece from Guido. I have been studying his Mail Art and it is still a mysterie how he does it. This piece is called 'A cascade of dreams ending in a Dutch poem'. In the dream Guido is looking for his cats... in colour.
