Marina Salmaso, Copenhagen, Denmark


I like the  way Marina took a publicity card for a bicycle company Mustang, with model named Dagmar, and altered the wheels. Cleverly using postage stamps, she creates a sense of movement. I really like this.

This is the first Mail Art from Denmark. I was happy to see the postmark as we were in Copenhagen, many years ago on our honeymoon. We enjoyed the city very much. We drove to Helsingor and stopped at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art. We saw a Magritte exhibit there. Ah, Memories.

Thanks, Marina for the Mail Art and the memories.

Eduard Egorov, Alexandrov, Vladirmiskaya Region, Russia

 Eduard send in two entries and I'm posting both of them front and back.

The postage stamps are terrific, keeping with the theme.



 I find the label/sticker on the bicycle frame so interesting in that it's in English. Also, it must be vintage since the USSR no longer exists. This is quite cool.
This photo is by Eduard, himself.
I have no details on this double photos postcard. I can make out the work Moscow, but nothing else. Closed course track in a stadium, wouldn't you say?

Eduard has a Mail Art project, also. You can check it out HERE.  
It's something we, too, can participate in if we'd like.

Thanks, Eduard for two entries to the exhibit. Спасибо.

Connie Jean, Cocoa Beach, Florida, USA

A scan doesn't do justice to this entry.
The piece is made up of an under part that is textured metallic material. The top is laminated with the collage material within (bad explanation, sorry.) it's held together with little screw/brad closures.
 Very nice, whimsical, too.
 Notice the postage stamp on the piece itself and then on the envelope. I like the skeleton riding the bicycle stamp, too.

Thanks, Connie Jean.

Carina Granlund, Petsmo, Finland

 I like the way participants are choosing stamps that fit the theme.

This one from Finland is especially lovely.

The way that the text is placed and obscured partially give such a good feeling of movement, right?

Nice collage, Carina. Thanks for participating.

Phillip Lerche, Columbus, OH, USA

 Phillip Lerche sent two envelopes made from very cool paper, and used very cool bicycle themed postage stamps.  Very cool!

Inside were copies of envelopes that he'd made for another site.
Phillip has a pseudonym that I actually know of him by - Finnbadger. See his blog HERE and
HERE is a link to the site to see more about these particular envelopes.

Thanks for continuing the lives of these pieces by sending them to my Mail Art Call, Phillip.
