Comment by Mel Anie on February 17, 2021 at 9:38: Thank you, Ilya, for that extra bit of information. I love the little bits of story that you add to your mail art once we receive it.

Comment by Ilya Semenenko-Basin on February 16, 2021 at 21:25: Dear Mel Anie, I am very pleased with Your message. The Silver Forest that was sent to You was made from advertisements that I bought at an auction.

Comment by Mel Anie on February 16, 2021 at 17:23: Thank you, Ilya, for your very fine contribution to Silver Forest. The link is to my ongoing co-respon-dan-se to the envelope's exterior. https://5ftstoryhouse.wordpress.com/2021/02/11/26-straight-lines/

Comment by Mel Anie on February 10, 2021 at 15:13: Yours arrived already, Katerina! You're welcome, but goodness me, what has happened to these postal services? It can't make up its mind. But I like the way they are currently behaving for Greece and UK. And from your photo, Katerina, I don't remember sending a white square with a blue question mark (! hahahahaha).

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on February 10, 2021 at 11:22: #16 Blue me...butterflies, too! Thanks, Mel Anie!

Comment by Mel Anie on February 10, 2021 at 9:53: Oh it arrived already, Carien; wonderful. So pleased you like die klein boekie. I am enjoying this dance very much. Thank you to everyone who is helping it along its way. I am twisting and turning; maybe I'm at a pivot point now? (PS. I think you posted a photo? Haha, I still can't see them. Now I'm the one who is masked.)

Comment by Mel Anie on February 4, 2021 at 21:32: Thank you Lone Ant and Katerina Nikoltsou for your box mail. I have started playing. Updated it on my blog. Still only showing fragments. I realised it's a masked ball. https://5ftstoryhouse.wordpress.com/2021/02/04/26-threes/

Comment by Ilya Semenenko-Basin on January 23, 2021 at 20:23: I sincerely thank You for your trust in me! I got the twenty-second box. Unfortunately, I don't understand the rules of collaboration. Please provide me with step-by-step instructions on what I need to do.
