B Kapp, Chicago, Illinois, USA

B Kapp has sent us her two final cards, based on her text. Notice her playful dots? Thanks for all the Mail, B Kapp. We've enjoyed receiving it. See you at the finish line, indeed.

Mariana Serban, Tg-Mures, Romania

Mariana sent two more entries for the exhibit. They are quite large and as my scanner is small, I was only able to get a portion of each of these wonderful collages. You get the idea, however. They are very vibrant and exciting.

Thanks, Mariana, for sending more Mail to us.

B Kapp, Chicago, Illinois, USA

 B Kapp has sent us more of her wonderful Mail Art.

I enjoy the way she melds the images and the text and adds her playful dots.

Thanks, B Kapp, for continuing to support this exhibit.

Richard Canard, Carbondale, Ill, USA

I've made this image extra large so you can read what Richard has written on the playing card. He's given the folks mounting the exhibit a challenge. How will they display this? Hmmm, we shall see.

Thank you, Richard, for always amusing us! We love your submissions.

Eva, Morocco

Eva altered a card that she got while on holiday in Greece. I'm glad it made it here in time for us to exhibit it. It's quite an eye catching image!

Thanks, Eva for submitting more Mail Art.

Michael C. Paul, Herndon, VA USA

This entry looks like something from a medieval tapestry, update with bicycles. A pencil drawing with a motto.  I find it very amusing, which I hope is what Michael Paul was going for. Is it Latin? I'm not sure, maybe the artist will let us know.

Thanks for this entry, Michael.

Dan Mouer, Richmond, VA, USA

Dan is an active Mail Artist who'll be able to see the races in person. His entires really capture the excitement and energy that our little city will be encompassed by, for sure.
Thanks, Dan, for participating.

B Kapp, Chicago, Illinois, USA

Another Mail Art piece from my prolific Mail Artist friend in Chicago. I like the shadow on the wall, as if this bicycle were really lifting off.
I think that for the most part, the race circuits will be fairly flat, but there are a few areas where the riders will have to go up or down hills. Riding high, indeed.
Thanks B, for another piece.

Tracy Gill Barrett, Richmond, Virgnia, USA

An excellent collage, multi-layered and full of energy!  Thanks for your entry, Tracy.

Vivien kohler, Camp Lutherlyn, Pennsylvania, USA

A simple admonition, an exclamation, BIKE! The tire treads show a lot of actions, which we're really looking forward to.
Thanks, Vivien, art camper, for your entry.

B Kapp, Chicago, Illinois, USA

 This appears to be a parking permit for a bicycle. Interesting. I'm curious about where one would be charged and if the amount is indeed $4 usd for an hour. Seems a bit much, don't you think.

I like the text: Really?

Bicycles in the neighborhood. I've been noticing more and more of them in my neighborhood. For a long time there was one chained to a sign at the end of our block, for months, then one day, it was gone. Who did it belong to? Why was it there so long? Questions to remain unanswered.

Thanks B Kapp for submitting more terrific cards, and with your signature dots.

Bob Isenberg, Camp Lutherlyn, Pennsylvania, USA

This print is quite interesting. I like the way the bicycle appears on the background and the use of stamps for the text. I think it's a monoprint, but maybe Bob can comment on this and tell about his technique.

Thanks for sending, Bob

B Kapp, Chicago, Illinois, USA

 B Kapp's collage with a personal statement is a good thing for all of us to think about. Keep going! Whether in a race like the UCI, or handling what life gives us, keep going. It is indeed an accomplishment.

This is so fun - Tour de Thin & Tour de Fat.
Is the latter a beer?

B Kapp's dots are make her cards a lot of fun.

Thanks, B.

Creighton Campbell, Camp Lutherlyn, Pennsylvania USA

A one word prompt, an mandate, an announcement! Wheel on fire, look at the bicycles go! Creighton, another art camper, has had his entry added to by the postal service. The wavy cancellation mark adds to the energy of this card.
Thanks, Creighton. I hope you Bike, also.

Vizma Bruns, Waitpinga SA, Australia

 Vizma's envelope is collaged and stamped with the theme of this MA call.

Very exciting to receive, but then - inside the envelope was a small Zine!

Vizma took the quote and played with fish postage stamps and drawings.

Isn't it delightful?

Vizma is a Mail Artist and a member of IUOMA.

Cassia Campbell, Camp Lutherlyn, Pennsylvania

Cassia is another of the art campers who is participating in this Mail Art exhibit. I think it's terrific to have young people learn about Mail Art. I hope they continue to make and send art into the world.
This is quite an encouraging card, and I'm sure the cyclists will do just that!
Thanks, Cassia.

B Kapp, Chicago, Illinois, USA

Which bicycle would you ride? B Kapp has sent us a variety of styles to chose from. Any of them would do, but I can't image riding the vintage bicycle.
Thanks for your enthusiastic support, sending in many pieces of Mail Art, B Kapp.

Jill Eudaly, Camp Lutherlyn, Pennsylvania

Jill is the person who organized the Mail Art activity at Camp Lutherlyn. I'm happy that she chose my Bicycle themed Call to respond to. The art campers will hopefully carry on beyond this summer, to make more Mail Art. Good Job, Jill, giving them this experience.

Addison Glace, Camp Lutherlyn, Pennsylvania

Addison, an art camper, has created a very energetic card, with the impression of tire tread and the repetition of her text. I'm not sure what the little character is, or where it's headed but it's cute.

Thanks for making something for the exhibit, Addison.

Haley Wolrd, Camp Lutherlyn, Pennsylvania, USA

Haley's bright bicycle frame and creative bicycle are delightful. Colorful and creative. Bike on, indeed!

Thanks, Haley.
