coffee cup, 2 kinds of curving...

Just realized that one of the right has less serrated edges. It is Japanese eraser stamp pad. One the right speedball curbing rubber. I am trying both ones but it looks obvious when I see close-up.

I guess I should practice with eraser stamp.…

This is not mail art but for painting exchange but I want to share here too because I sent keroko to some mail art friends here...

from @Taziana Baracchi I first thought it was a regular mail art but she said it's for the mail art call. looking at again the mail art bunny sheet has a size of the matchbox.

It's do-it-yourself matchbox design... (^_^)…

Here is Keiichi Nakamura 's matchbox is it kind of like a Western painting on Japanese Byobu (screen)? my own interpretation...

plus his additional stamp sheet is funky.

Thank you very much for your busy time, Keiichi san.…

It was mysterious because I had no idea who is this guy or woman sent me or what were their mail art about.... In FB, they post photos and explain their in coming or their own mail art, so…
