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.

This photograph from Finland made me smile. What a find, at a flea market, perhaps? The bicycle is so rusty and so like a sculpture. It made me think of Duchamp and his Ready Made pieces. I wonder if this bicycle was refurbished or just hung on a wall to be admired.

Maybe Anja will let us know.

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.
