Year of the Monkey Mail Art Call

I have a mail art call for the Year of the Monkey, until 27 January 2017. 

The blog of received pieces is here.

This year's USPS Lunar New Year stamp celebrating the Monkey features bright red peonies.

Usually I like to use stamps for contrast, or theme, but this time I thought they looked great on a purple envelope, which makes the red and gold stand out.

Who is Eduardo Munez part 8

I thought my spiral metro envelope was going to be the last one, but I was inspired at the last minute to send two more.

I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier, but here's a letter box/mail slot selfie a la Eduardo (although I realized it is from the opposite side of the door).

Art book from Carina

Carina sent extra goodies in her banana mail package.

Another interesting photograph.

And an intriguing package (I wondered if it was chocolate at first)

It contained this amazing art book, full of hilarious fingerprint creatures.

'Wow' is exactly right!

Inside out

These two great pieces arrived on the same day from MomKat and Martha and they used the same technique.

MomKat's reversed envelope:

And some Star Art from a galaxy far away (aka Greece).

And Martha's reversed envelope. Does it look familiar?

Mail Art Mutt-approved trashpo and artist stamp.

Remember this guy?
