Antonio Amato, Caserta, Italy

 This arrived in the mail a few days ago - Oh dear. It's quite beat-up.

There's no postage stamp. I"m assuming it got lost along the way. There is a faint cancellation on the reverse and looks like it's 11 May 2015. Could it really have been on it's way that long?
 Inside was a slightly bent postcard.

There was an explanation of the technique used and a couple of bicycle images.

The technique is interesting and I smiled at the caption.

Thanks for the entry, Antonio, and perhaps you can let us know when this started it's journey.

Elisa Battistella, S.Donato Milanese, Italy


 As a person who loves vegetables, I had to smile at this entry. On the address side, the veggie bicycle is such fun. It says some thing like "from the frying pan into the bike."



On the front, the wheels of the illustrated bicycle are actual buttons, mother of pearl, I think. They made it through the postal systems of both countries without a problem.

"Cycling in the fantasy" is what I think it says.

Thanks, Elisa.

Serse Luigetti, Perugia, Italy


. Whether it's the juxtaposition of disparate images or repetition, Serse Luigetti's work is always interesting.

Silvano Pertone, Genova, Italy

Interesting bicycle - no spokes! Can it be real? I think it is.

Silvano Pertone gives us a bit of a puzzle?

Thanks for submitting, Silvano.

Pietro Romano Matarrese, Bari, Italy

  
You can't appreciate how lovely this entry is as it's under plexiglass and didn't scan optimally.

It's a collage of the four hand cut circular shapes and colored with lemon juice.

It arrived with a CD of Mr. Matarrese's original guitar compositions. The album is entitled UPHO unidentified playing high object. I'm hoping that one of the venue's will be able to play it at some point during the exhibit.

Thank you so much for your entry and your music.
