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.

PSmith, Kentucky, USA

Neon Tea
A nice note from PSmith on the reverse of this card.  Thanks.

JJalltheway, NSW, AUSTRALIA

JJ's card is on silver foam core. There are lots of collaged elements on both sides and it came all the way from Australia with nary a snag. The stamp shows a koala, of course.
