What or whom is she staring at?

[Heleen de Vaan]

I've sent her to various colleague mail artists.

And great 'this is what she sees' returned home.

Of course new visions still are welcome.

Thank you very much, all of you!

Dear all, please have a little more (weeks? months?) patience!..
I planned to add more received visions here (received some time ago, and two newer ones, received last week). But alas my computer got ill (crashed), so there is a delay in posting, more delay than before...
As soon as the pc is well again (or has been replaced, maybe), I'll be back here to show you the contributions!
(Thank you, Richard, Katerina, Ti Ar, and others!).

Al the way from Japan came this Moray Eel. Thanks to designer and mail lover Hana Ehagaki.
She has sent me more beautiful works of art, see this link.

Thank you very much, Hana, arigato!

'The young lady became an old lady', I am pondering when I see this great collage by Intrasferível.
I'm not sure if that meaning is the purpose of the creator. At least it is clear that they've traveled a lot, this lady / these ladies, the compass and all words, all the way from Brazil to the Netherlands. 

Intransferível has an open mail art call: 'Reflexive mail'. 

Thank you very much, muito obrigada, Intransferível!

This interesting  interaction was sent by Richard Baudet but never arrived. Maybe the lady or the gentleman thought it a bit too private to be showed here. But  that's the way things go. Fortunately Richard had kept a scan and sent me the loving couple again. 

One advantage is that I now can show them to you; the other advantage is that I received it in a pretty envelope.

Thank you very much, merci beaucoup, Richard!

I was very pleased and pleasantly surprised to receive this selfie (is it?) of/by  Minneapolis Gnome. Sure she will be drawn greatly by MG, and both she and I are curious to see the result!

This wonderful drawing came accompanied by three more beautiful drawings, which you can see on the animals blog.

Thank you very much, Minneapolis Gnome!

I love windmills, they are a pretty delight-for-the-eye in the landscape, and fact is that they contribute to sustainable energy.
And thanks to this great mixed media / collage / design mail art from Richard Baudet we - and she - can see how this works, how the wind blows!

Thank you very much, merci beaucoup, Richard!

She is becoming famous! That will be the conclusion of this photo, taken by Cristophe Blaise.

Initially we thought she is just waiting in the dentist's waiting room, as Cristophe has an inspiring mail art project about mail art teeth (yes, postage stamps have teeth, too!).
But apparently she was waiting for this interview / these fans / this press conference*.

(*cross out what is not applicable)

Merci beaucoup, Cristophe!

After fishing for Fish, it is time to fish for Carrots! A miracle that Bugs Bunny didn't eat them yet!

An other great drawing/collage by Richard Baudet, who each time amazes me by his new original findings!

Posted also on my animals blog.

Merci beaucoup, Richard!

Thank you for  your mail, Richard! I've received the original one which I'll post within a few minutes - sorry for the delay! I also did receive the Windmill one (to be posted later, as number 43), but the other one you showed me in the mail I haven't received yet, and I'm afraid it must have been lost in the  post.. I'll post the copy later, too (as nr 45).
