Marie-Christine De Grave, Titti's Studio, Berlaar, Belgium
Titti's Studio sent this photo collage. I'm quite smitten with the yellow bicycles. I've never seen any like that and I think I'd like to ride one. But is it a bicycle or a scooter. Hmmm. Any one?
Thanks, Marie-Christine for your entry.

La Marquesa, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA
This photo/collage entry came from my long-time correspondent, La Marquesa. Turns out she sent it while I was in hospital and it ended up on the bottom of a stack of many cards. I was happy to see and am happy to share it.
Thanks, La M.

Wow, this is cute! And Amy noted that she made the image - hand carved stamp from foam. Very cool. It reminds me of a constellation, the bicycle constellation.

Fleur Helsingor, Oakland, California, USA
This is from one of my long-time Mail Art acquaintances. She found this shop sign on a stroll around Oakland. How perfect for this mail art theme.
Thanks, Fleur.

Carina, Petsmo, Finland
Carina's image of bicycles coming from flying saucers is quite like a cover to a science-fiction novel. Now, who'll write me a story about this? I'm a big Sci-Fi fan.
She uses collage and paint on a firm substrate. Her stamp, on the reverse is a great Suomi Finland Bicycle design!
Thanks, Carina.

Brooke sent in an interesting piece. The bicycle appears to be paper craft that's been scanned, then cut out and collaged to a lovely painted substrate.
Thanks, Brooke, for sending your work to the exhibit.

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.
