Seasonal Mail Art

SPRING season coming soon?

I picked up my mail art at the post office yesterday (on February 15th) and there were some seasonal greetings from Katerina (MomKat), two lovely cards!

I know what you mean about delayed mail, Katerina. I also received mail art from France with a postmark of December 27, 2022. Mail from France to the United States usually is a lot faster than that!

Yay, good to see the cards finally arrived!

'Must be patient, since Covid the mail delivery is snail pace :-)

Making and sending mail art "months" in advance:

I hope they arrive "within the season" ???

I picked up my mail art at the post office yesterday, on February 21, 2023. One of the items was from France and it was postmarked December 22, 2022! Usually, mail from France takes about eight or ten days to reach me at the western edge of the U.S.A.

I also received mail from Katerina (MomKat). The envelope was not postmarked but the sweet little booklet inside was titled "Winter to Spring ...."

Here's the cover.

This booklet was made from two of Ryosuke Cohen's Brain Cell envelopes. In addition to the art on each page, the edges of the envelopes were cut open and there were artist stamps and other goodies tucked inside. More fun!

There are signs of spring around here although snow is forecast for the nearby mountains, with a storm arriving tonight.

Thanks, Katerina!

Not bad mail delivery to California...hahaha!

From Greece that "Recycle Ryosuke" boekie was sent 1.Feb.2023.

So, within the same month is "fast"?

Thanks for posting, Fleur!

The boekie is full of other mail artists' goodies sent to Greece over time:

Spring flowers artistamps are from Cascadia ArtPost,

little sticker on front is from Ed Giecek,

stickers, "mail art omens" in the pocket from The Sticker Dude and others.

Time to move-the-mail-art-archive! :-) Enjoy!

3 tweets say that Spring Season is coming!

Thank you, Fleur xxx

Wow, I'm glad that this arrived so quickly!

I'm hoping for an early spring.

and another one just arrived, too, Fleur:

Thank you so much...to the sea, to the sea, soon :-)

Spring greetings from Katerina Nikoltsou, and an altered postcard as well. Enjoy!

Glad the Spring cards arrived in Oakland, Fleur! 

Here is a sunny Spring greeting from bancks in Penn State:

I've also received early summer greetings from Katerina (MomKat)! It's a little book made from one of Ryosuke Cohen's "Brain Cell" envelopes, folded in half.

Opening it up ...

Turning the page ...

Since it's an envelope, there are goodies inside! Here's a card that Sabela Bana made to celebrate the Year of the Rabbit, and it's called "Female Cat."

Some more treats ...

... and some artistamps!

See you in the mail in September, Katerina. Enjoy your summer break!

During the week, I received late summer and early autumn greetings from Mail Art Martha, including the "Julgust" issue of The Foldi newsletter, a tiny book with a "bad poem" and a gorgeous card!

An envelope filled with autumn greetings from Katerina Nikoltsou, including some from the Greek goddesses.

Where I live, autumn marks the start of the rainy season. We've gotten a little bit of rain since the dry summer season, but the first big storm is on its way later this week. I like that tape on the back of the envelope, metallic ink raindrops!

Thank you for the Thanksgiving greetings, Katerina! We had beautiful weather, with a bright blue sky. 

I picked up my mail on Wednesday, November 22, and there was a nice pile of mail art, including an envelope with autumn greetings from MomKat. Enjoy!

Good to see that the "goddess" arrived in time for Autumn/Thanksgiving Season, Fleur!

....now to get ready for the Holiday Season!

A lovely bird arrived in Athens for the Winter Season,
