This was my third contribution to FinnBadger's mail art call: The Year of the Monkey. It is a detail from Hieronymus Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights, printed on balsa wood. I couldn't go to the post office to sent it, so I wasn't sure about the postage. Happily, it arrived safe and sound to the USA.
And the thank you mail that I received was everything but conventional: a monkey-shaped paper plate! A little ear wound, but, anyway... I would have never thought that an item like this could survive an intercontinental mail travel.
A great contribution to his collection and an equally good thankyou. I'm amazed it survived its travels.
ReplyDeleteThanks, John . And I'm amazed of both!
DeleteAs I said on the blog, the balsa wood postcard is amazing in person. And I am also surprised the monkey made it. If the ear had been torn off completely, would you have known it was from me?
ReplyDeleteI would guessed because of the label with my address :)
DeleteBut he's happy to be complete!
