Confession time! The REAL reason why I (almost) stopped Mail Arting is that.....

[Valentine Mark Herman]

I started a circus with my very good mail art friend Mevrouw Jarina Renz!

And here in this Great Big Collage (#6 in the series in case you have lost count) is the one and only Circus Herman Renz

I'm sure tht you'd like to see Jarina and I in our circus costumes -- well, not to disappoint you....

Jarina is at the top on the trapeze, and I'm in the red jacket. WOW.

Here we are again, this time with tarot cards and some of the takings from last night's show:

There are various exotic beasts in the circus -- we do look after them well, I assure you -- but rather than show you them, I thought you'd like to see 2 photos of my new assistant Boots,  who continuing the tradition of Circus HermanRenz cats 'helped' in the making of this Great Big Collage:

Before the Big Top opens, here's something that you can sing along to with James darren and me, "Goodbye Cruel World".....

"Oh, goodbye cruel world, I'm off to join the circus
Gonna be a broken-hearted clown
Paint my face with a good-for-nothin' smile
'cause a mean, fickle woman turned my whole world upside down...

Well, the joke's on me, I'm off to join the circus
Oh, Mr. Barnum, save a place for me
Shoot me out of a cannon, I don't care
Let the people point at me and stare
I'll tell the world that woman, wherever she may be
That mean, fickle woman made a cryin' clown outta me

Shoot me out of a cannon, I don't care
Let the people point at me and stare
I'll tell the world that woman, wherever she may be
That mean, fickle woman made a cryin' clown outta me"

Sort of real, Katerina. The man down the road prints them. He will also do you some drachmas, if & when....

A lovely Siamese kitten, to be sure.  I, too, have been helped by one or two of them whilst making mailart or during a printing session with ink, brayer and block drawing more feline curiosity than desired.

"Boots" is lovely! meow...

My scanner will not allow me to "copy" money :-(
