Seasonal Mail Art

Such a wonderful invitation to spring from Karalie, arrived on the equinox!

Springtime greetings from Greece! Here's the front of Katerina's card ...

... and here's the back.

Good to see "Spring" arrived from Greece, Fleur :-)

Here is RED Spring on Mary Wheeler's envelope:

Yesterday, I went to the post office to pick up my mail and I found springtime greetings from Katerina Nikoltsou!

Her card reminds us that "April Showers Bring May Flowers." That's certainly true where I live this year. We've had a lot of rain and the wildflower meadows up in the hillside parks are already looking spectacular!

Thank you, Katerina, and I hope that your broken hand heals quickly and completely!

I recently received a new card from Katerina, which features the fresh pink colors of spring flowers. The pale blue envelope is lovely, too.

Here are some bright summertime greetings from Katerina. She made the envelope from a calendar page August and the card inside uses the same range of colors.

She also sent along a little book that she made in collaboration with John Bennett. Many thanks!

That should be "a calendar page for August."

Thanks for posting,Fleur...it is summer in Greece these days...

getting to 42o-44o :-0

'Tis June, but feels like August!

Here's a lovely card from Mail Art Martha with greetings for the Summer Solstice. It's a pity that my scanner cannot accurately render metallic colors --- the brownish bits, the henge's gateway, and the borders are rendered in a beautiful shiny gold.

I recently received "late summer daze" greetings from Katerina on a two-sided card. Cheers!

One side:

The other side:

Autumn

Beautiful Autumn, Mariano! Ah, the autumn leaves :-)

Some lovely early Autumn greetings from Katerina.

Thanks!

Another lovely Autumn card from Katerina, with flowers and Happy Halloween greetings. I love the postage stamp, too.

And there's more art on the back of the card and some lovely rubber stamps on the back of the envelope.

Thanks, Katerina!

Thank you for posting, Fleur.

Fall time, one hour back today in Greece:

Fall-back time happens next Sunday in the U.S.A. Ah well ......

November leaves...Autumn season ending...

I just discovered this group. Oh bliss, ideal for me.This year I have found myself drawn to post every change of season. Thank you Fleur for posting my summer solstice card. Here is my Autumn Equinox/ Halloween effort. The Earth Goddess preparing some brew, cider perhaps? 

Double exposure! sorry, I could not write on the first comment window and then I could not delete the photo either. 

Curiouser and curiouser. Disregard my last comment. My silly computer showed two versions of the goddess stirring apples, now there is only one. Embarrassing. No I haven't got to the cider. Not yet.

From Katerina Nikoltsou, a lovely card celebrating "November Leaves." It came in a handmade envelope, which I was instructed to open and unfold.

Front / outside:

Back / inside:

There were also some "Funny Munny" and Fluxus Bucks, which I was too lazy to scan.  :-)

Yay! good to see that the ol' calendar envelope arrived ok,

I worry that the Greek Post doesn't send off my "clock" and "flower" mail.

Thanks for posting, Fleur...and now to get ready for the 

HOLIDAY SEASON :-)

Christmas Season in Colorado from Bill Porter:

I recently received some charming holiday season greetings from Antonia!

Here are the cute stamps and stickers on the back of the envelope.

I've also received some sweet holiday greetings from Mail Art Martha!

Here's a small card with best wishes for the Winter Solstice. (She used metallic gold paint for the card's border and the iris of the eye, which I couldn't scan properly. This card looks more beautiful in person.)

Here's a Christmas cartoon featuring Ali Khat and Vermina.

Here's a folded card with greetings (and a letter inside) for the upcoming New Year. Cheers!

Here's a beautiful holiday season greeting card (and envelope) from Katerina Nikoltsou.

The front view ...

Thanks for posting, Fleur,

Winter Season, Holiday Season!

A beauty!

Winter greetings from Katerina Nikoltsou ...

I've received early spring greetings from Katerina Nikoltsou, a lovely card.

Now to open it up to see the message inside ...

Thanks for posting, fleur :-)

TIME for Summer Season mail art :-)

Those are lovely, MomKat!

Super watercolours/collages, Katerina. Mine is a photo collage, called 'Dancing in the hope of Summertime' , which is all we can have in the middle of these thunder storms and under the rain.
