Mail Artists meet up in Athens

[Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)]

Sept. 25,26,27,28, 2026 "What is a weekend" visit with Heleen de Vaan from the Netherlands,

Seeing the Greek Guard at the Parliament, Syntagma Square in Athens with MomKat,

and sketching at the Acropolis Museum cafe,

also making collab mail art at MomKat 's place:(see the rubber stamps and stampings on the paper table cover, too.)

Many cards are double-sided folded to postcard size for mailing in a standard size envelope.

Acrylic blue + red-orange painted papers by MomKat and some rubber stamping,

and then Heleen created her magical creatures: fish, octopus, a whale, and other fantastic critters:

Here we are discussing who will get which card: 

and mailing off many at the central post office at Syntagma Square:

there will be others mailed out from the Netherlands, too!

Let's see when and if they all arrive? There are 22 lucky envelopes sent :-)

Aha, but Heleen and MomKat had met once before: in Paris, in April, in a cafe, on a rainy day :-)

in 2014: what a difference 12 years makes! and we made mail art then, too :-0
