Hester Wright, Boston, Massachusetts, USA

This lovely tea collage came in an envelope with a butterfly stamp. I think it's perfect for this mail art call, butterflies signifying re-birth, which is what will happen for Carytown Tea once the old place is renovated. When they move back into their space, the gold frame will be filled with fabulous mail art like this piece. Thanks, Hester.

Keith A. Buchholz, St. Louis, Missouri, USA

Don't you love the headline? Good thing Fluxus West artist Keith Buchholz circled the article related to tea. We might have really gotten interested in the Trophies. Thanks, Keith. As always, your contributions are a good addition to mail art shows.

Rani Solhaug, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA

 I wanted to show you both sides of this card. Rani used a Celestial Seasonings tea box to make her card.

 How fun and lively it feels. Like a perky cup of tea!

Thanks, Rani.

Carlo Maria Guidici, Lecco, ITALY

 

This card is really unique. The upper half is the tea art/collage and the lower part is an authentication certificate. I love that. It came folded over with the address on the reverse, sealed with tape and little drawn images of scissors, showing where to cut it open. How neat. Thanks Carlo Maria.

Giovanni StraDa Da, Ravenna, ITALY

The ever prolific Giovanni StraDa Da sent three cards. The cards are commercial cards that had had tea images added to them and have been altered both front and back in many ways. Very interesting, as always. The envelope in which they arrived is also creatively presented. Thanks StraDa Da.

Jaromir Svozilik, Oslo, NORWAY

Line drawings from Jaromir Svozilik are always delightful.  Notice the whimsical skull feet on the tea cup.

Kemal Ozyurt, Istanbul, TURKEY

This is the piece sent from Turkey, along with the envelope, which had collage elements and a nice stamp.
