Dean, Artist in Seine, Paris, France
This large collage card was sent out on 27 July from Paris. It arrived after the deadline but I had a feeling there were a few cards still en route.
You can see how involved this card it, questions to be answered, information of interest, and it arrived intact though the center part of the front was bent up like a pop-up book.
Perhaps, Dean, you can let us know if anything came off of the front.
Thanks for this additional entry.

Katerina Nikoltsou, Thessaloniki, Greece
I received this today, past deadline, but Katerina wrote that it might arrive post deadline. I'm happy to add it to the blog and will bring it by the venue. There's a good chance that it'll be on display.
Thanks, Katerina, for another fun Mail Art piece.

Poul Poclage, Guldborg, Denmark
This entry arrived today, one of the few that I thought might still be en route. It was postmarked last week.
The title is: Marie's bicycle. The technique is quite nice. I hope Poul will let us know more about it.
Thanks for sending this Mail Art, Poul.

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.
Marian Sheehan, Mallow, County Cork, Ireland
Marian did this wonderful pen and ink drawing of a bicycle. She covered her card with plastic to protect it and it made it safely to us from Ireland. You can see more of Marian's work on her web site HERE.
Love her embroidered birds!
Thanks for sending your Mail Art, Marian.

Piro Rios, Humacao, Puerto Rico
Piro is active in the international Mail Art community. What a wonderful vintage print with color added. I love seeing the old time cycling costumes. Imagine women cycling with such long skirts. Perhaps, he'll tell us the technique that he used to add the color.
Thanks, Piro.
Thanks, Piro.
