Yay! mail art from Paris has arrived!

TWO fine collage cards in the mail...

with fab postage from La Poste,

not bar codes, but color codes, fantastic:

And a bit of cheer for the New Year 2022, on the slopes?

Many thanks, Dean!

aha!

The Christo and Jeanne-Claude team has created the Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped, Paris, 1961-2021, as Christo wished this project to be continued after his death.

On view for 16 days from Saturday, September 18th to Sunday, October 3rd, 2021 Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped, Paris, 1961-2021 will use 25,000 square meters of recyclable polypropylene fabric in silvery blue, and 3,000 meters of red rope of the same fabric. 

...and I am blessed to receive a 4x7cm piece of this silver treasure, yay!

Now, was it piece that just happened to have fallen off and you picked it up, Dean ?

Or did they cut all that material into small souvenirs and sold them to the public???

[Dean aka Artist in Seine]

Happy they arrived.  And thank you for posting.  Did you understand that the silver cloth is a piece of wrapping of the Arc de Triomphe?
