The Katerina Nikoltsou Series: Before number 1

I understand that a full Katerina Nikoltsou Series is heading my way.  I just received the first one which is actually numbered; "Before number 1"

I'm not sure why "Barcodes are human ... Time"  is before number one. 

Maybe because zero would actually be before number 1.  But that wouldn't be politically correct. 

Just a thought, but if 1 is the loneliness number, then would -1 be the saddest number?

The flip side is "Time Blue" or "Blue Time" depending if you hold the card upside down.  This might be a lead up to the last of Katerina's trademark; the Old Greek Air Mail Envelopes.

Thank you Katerina

Sorry for the mix up but I had blogged side A of number 1 instead of side B of before number 1.  I apologise for the stress this may have caused any of you.  It is all fixed now.

Because NOW, only these were found for sale :-(

and the "air mail" must be hand stamped by moi :

...well, at least they are lightweight , but they are not blue and white :-(

It's really TIME for some bar codes, In Seine :-)

And this card should have been sent off

before the "last of" series was begun and numbered,

BUT it got lost-amongst-the-mail-art-omens

in my immaculately clean and organized artspace.

After the other envelopes were addressed and numbered ( one-to-ten :-)

this was discovered, and thus had to be sent and marked "before #1"

The only few remaining Greek "ΑΕΡΟΠΟΡΙΚΩΣ" envelopes in my possession 

are now sent on their way to Paris...

may they be treasured and loved

yes indeed, this could have been marked "0",

but that would be offensive to the ol' Greek envelope :-(
