Blue tape- ATCs from Karen Champlin and MinXus stamps from Dark wall

[Marie Wintzer]

 

I have several blue tape envelopes from Karen Champlin. I don't really know what Karen and De Villo's blue tape collaboration really is about, but I take it as a seal of quality :-)) Her ATCs are pocket-size masterpieces. Extremely well crafted. I love the neatly punched holes on those (and the A inside!). Every time I see them I think yes, she truly is the boss of them ATCs. Lucky me, thank you Karen!

 

From one blue tape to another one, I am proud to introduce Dark wall's new MinXus stamps. Dw doesn't send out much mail but he actually is a prolific artist. He doesn't talk much (though he can repeat the word DKoder an impressive amount of times) so I thought I would make a bit of promotion on his behalf. I consider those as received material and I will be using them on future envelopes to promote the Arthur Rimbaud School of Aesthetics and Subtle Obscurity :-))

 

The first set of stamps was a prototype, bearing a blue tape X, which I found really cool. The set below is the final version, with some of the minxes wearing little crowns. I just love them, thank you Dark wall, as usual your imagination knows no borders!

Only two queens? You're not playing with a full deck.

[De Villo Sloan]

we were skunked! the queens are throne together

Already an expulsion?? :-o That's a very crosspatchy thing to do. And who is the poor innocent soul who is getting this ruthlessly unfair axe? I can't find any wrongdoing in CP-SA or myself. This leaves us with.... you, DVS.

[De Villo Sloan]

Crosspatch stamps, Marie? Dw is already talking about MinXus expulsions.

[Marie Wintzer]

Actually no, what a laugh, the Alsacian one has the biggest crown ;-))) but that doesn't mean a thing, we all know who is the real boss

[Marie Wintzer]

CP-SA! Great to see you here, thanks for dropping in! Your Petit and the Glimmer Boy have been awaiting you eagerly but patiently. Well, some of us more patiently than others. I think you can figure out who is who ;-))

You know what? I didn't actually receive the stamps, I took them ;-))) I think you should do the same. Did you notice the SA minx has the biggest crown? That's the one for the real boss.

CPsa is being bossed  by life in its most cantankerous format. Its also wrapped in muzzling blue tape.  I'm certain receiving the MinXus stamps though will go a long way to restoring the question of who is the real boss - ie the receipt of the sa crown will go a long way to restoring balance! :-) XXX

This was my very first stamp and the first thing I did on IUOMA. Tanuki mail ;-)))

[De Villo Sloan]

I thought you started by posting bunny stamps. I could be mistaken.

[Marie Wintzer]

was I making bunny stamps? ;-))))
