Another envelop stuffed with MailArt, from StripyGoose and from Signor Moreno. For the Add 'n Pass project. Thanks to Erni we now know more about the Mysterious Signor Morena. He's not a member of IUOMA, but an enthousiastic Mail Artist in his own right.

StripyGoose sends me a paint-stamp made by Val, another lotto-thing (my second chance to win a fortune) and a…

Orange envelop arrived in Amsterdam. Orange is a banned colour here, at least until next Queens Day. Val sent me the sad story of Darlington FC, including original photograph of a team playing in a nearly empty station. The football ticket is from 2003! There is no Darlington team nor stadion anymore. How can you part with this historical ticket, Val. I will keep it, of…

From Brasil, this beauty with spirals, doodles and colours. Wow-combination. Thank you, Giuliana.

Only untill I uploaded the photo did I see AND understand what Sarah was saying on this colourful, funny story-telling-MailArt-Piece (#159/365)! Suitcase stamp? Suitcase stamp... ???? Ahaaaaa, look at the red thingy in the left upper corner, hihi. (Yes, I know my Dutch stamp collection by heart, not.) Beautiful lettering on the backside as well. Thank you,…

Katerina, we can nearly celebrate our first blue-milestone. 5 pieces of blue from Greece to The Netherlands. Again this is a stunning piece. Even the stamp is Greek-blue. Love it. Thank you very…

Must be the football disaster from last month but I completely forgot to blog this 'verrukkelijk' (= gorgeous) arty slide piece from Val. And it is so wonderful! 

Now... Val used to live in the very south part of the Netherlands in a…

This is beautiful. It is number one of a series of two monotypes, created by Michalis Kotsaris. I am really curious about the technique. The paper is handmade, I guess. Thank you, Michalis.

Luckily my neighbours were home so they could take this Giant-Supermega-very-interesting-parcel from the postman. I don't know what to say! The parcel itself is already fantastic. So thinks Troels, the ginger one.

I love the drawing in the middle and the…

Yippeeeee, Jubilee Diamond Mail from Dean. This is such an honour. I guess the figure on this card is Henry the-so-many'est, isn't it?

Look at the stamp! Ulluzubuth smiles. She must be very happy with Dean, visiting her Kingdom. I wonder what Dean's…

In mai I was participating in Val's mysterious-jigsaw-puzzle-project. I received puzzle pieces from different puzzles and so did other Mail Artist. I sent the pieces to Katerina, wrapped in blue Ikea-paper. She made these beautiful blue islands card. Recycling is fun! Thank you…

Another colourful piece of Mail Art that raises questions. Carina went to Kristinestad in Finland, to take this beautiful picture. It is from a biograph. The tickets may suggest she had to take a plane to do this project. Very intriguing. Thank you, Carina.

This big but at the same time very delicate envelop arrived from Canada. No folds, completely intact... it's amazing!

The back of the envelop has a kind of historical chalk drawing. Beautiful. I recognize an elephant, but what do you see?…

Aus Hamburg! Double sided Mail Art. Erni, where do you find these interesting pictures with jumping/floating people? Thank you…

Another great piece from Guido. I have been studying his Mail Art and it is still a mysterie how he does it. This piece is called 'A cascade of dreams ending in a Dutch poem'. In the dream Guido is looking for his cats... in colour.

Thank you Guido.

Mixed Media Mail Art from Claudia! I love it and the chairs really give depth to the piece of art. Thank you…

What a surprise! MailArt from MailArtist that I don't know yet. Mim4Art sent a collage with a US Postal Service Certified Mail Receipt. Sounds very important, thank you Mim. Jon also sent a beautiful collage with a rather sad little boy, I think. Thank you…

Thank you Stripy Goose for #78/365 'Waiting for the tea party to start'. What a great idea to make a series for every day of the year. Good luck with the other uuuuh... 287.

Katerina and me love blue with a passion. This is another great piece for my i-am-collecting-blue-mail-art-collection.

This beautiful mail art collage arrived from Switzerland. I can't find any signature. Please help me to find the…
