Received from Dean Marks - Paris, France – 25 April 2013




What a SURPRISE! Before his trip to the U.S., Dean still managed to send me an -as ever- special mail-art using a "real" -oh yes, you shocked bibliophiles!- a real book cover, referring to his pragmatic philosophy: some books are better off in Mail Art than sitting on a shelf! And yes, I don't know which wisdom was protected by this beautiful red cover, but its new coverings are wise AND funny! And I will try, of course, to live according to them!!!

Sent to Sibylle – Paris, France – 6 March, 2013 - "Bon Anniversaire!"




Sent to Jack McDaniel – Morganton, NC, USA – 12 March 2013

 
This A&A-card was my reaction to Jack McDaniel's PROY#53.


Received from Miryana "Radio Chinchilla" – Sofia, Bulgaria - 8 March 2013


I got this card as a PostCrossing card. Many PostCrossers put explicitly on their profile that they don't want to recieve "handmade" of "selfmade" cards... I put explicitly on my profile that I ADORE them!



Sent to Nadine Carranza – Lege Cap-Ferret – 10 March 2013

 
An A&A-card to Nadine in reaction to her PROY#52.

Busy with preparing my moving, I sent an A&A-card to En, MAiL-ART, in reaction to her PROY#51.

Sent to Ivana Rezek - Zagreb, Croatia – 10 March 2013


In reaction to her PROY#50 mail art http://wimpletproy.blogspot.de/2013/04/proy50-received-from-ivana-rezek-zagreb.html, I sent Ivana this A&A-card, busy as I was with my moving!

Received from Cristina Blank - Wörthsee, Germany

Today I received my first mail art since I am here in Oldenburg (BUT when I arrived, there was already awaiting me a Pink-Red-Orange-Yellow mail art from Ka van Haasteren! I will put it on my other blog of course, http://wimpletproy.blogspot.de). 
Cristina Blank sent me this Black Iris bird from her Pantone-cards series, with, indeed, a painting with much black in it. Just now I notice that there is also pink/red, orange and yellow in it, so it also could have gone to my other blog!




AFTER MY MOVING to OLDENBURG, Germany

Even if I am not yet completely - ...not completely at all!!! - installed; even if my boxes are not yet all - ...not all at all!!! - unpacked, I CANNOT WAIT to TAKE UP again MAIL ART!
So, I'm going to TRY TO apply the LIFO principle (Last In First Out): what comes in, will go -I HOPE SO- immediately on my blog. And little by little, I'm going to put the older recieved and sent mail art.

My new address:
Fasanenweg 12
26133 Oldenburg
Germany
