From Cristina Blank - Wörthsee, Germany - 30/09/14

For one motive or another I forgot to put this painting from Cristina on my blog: probably because I put it on show on my wall... I found -and find- it so beautiful!

Sent to Patricio "The Celestial Scribe" - Curitiba, PR, Brazil - 27/10/14



Patricio, "The Celestial Scribe", also received a card from my Paris stay!

Sent to Mim - Richmond, VA, U.S. - 27/10/14

For the card I sent from Paris to Mim, I used a photo of the Opera made by a young friend, Tatiana Yada. On the envelope I put a series of stamps I still had from "my former life" in Paris.

From XX Jones - Vienna, Austria - 06/11/14 2014


I adore this intriguing image. XX Jones retouched the photo of a homeless person on the invitation of an exhibition by Lukas Ilgner (“Shelter” Obdachlose [that is, homeless people] in the Wiener Stadtpark).



Sent to Laurence Gillot - Nancy, France - 27/10/14

During my trip to Paris, I sent some "holiday" cards to mail-art friends! Laurence received a Moscow image enriched with the Tour Eiffel.

From Angela Behrendt - Hannover, Germany - 13/10/14

From Wikipedia: "Baumkuchen is a kind of layered cake.…The characteristic rings that appear when sliced resemble tree rings, and give the cake its German name, Baumkuchen, which literally translates to 'tree cake'". 
The "spitzen" are the "points" of the
Baumkuchen.
And this is "Echte Handarbeit", that is, "real  manual work, also "needlework", Angela's speciality!

In a beautiful, romantic envelope, Laurence sends me a some "treasures", as she calls them!


From Roland Halbritter - Nüdlingen, Germany - 08/10/14

Again using in a special way the Deutche Post (the German Postal services), Roland sends a documentation of sendings he received on his call for the Malerwinkelhaus, among which my sending (see ). The
documentation is made up of "stamps" made of the mail art people sent.





He joins a postcard representing a Dadasculpture that, I suppose, he made, entitles "Wer sich nur einmal gewaschen hat" (Who washed themselves only once), showing an object that, according to Roland, on his blog (http://socks-stockings.blogspot.de/2013/09/new-artcard.html) was going to be exhibited (that was on 29 September 2013) in Schweinfurt at the eventgalerie.

Even if it isn't readable on the photo, I propose that Dean's stores sell, not only Will's Woodbines, but also Willemien's Good Wines!
