Gina Ulgen, Norwich, United Kingdom

 Mail Artist, Gina Ulgen, sent two cards in one clear envelope. I didn't realize that until I slide what I thought was one card out of the envelope. What a lovely surprise.

On the reverse of this card, with a map of Virginia, USA, and an extraordinary cyclist, is a note about her getting a new bicycle and her adventure with it.

It's Duck egg blue with a wicker basket. Lovely sounding.
The reverse of this card, a fabulously altered celestial scene, has the addresses, to and from.

The postage stamp was adhered to the outside of the clear envelope. Clever move.

You can see, even in this scan, how precisely she cut the image of the cyclists.

Thanks, Gina, for these terrific entries.

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.
