Escher Calendar

I made some mail art with a calendar dedicated to M.C. Escher...

Front and back of a postcard sent to Eduard (Russia).


Front and back of an envelope sent to Lilli (Canada).

Windows and Balcony


Drawn and collaged envelope sent by Lilli (Canada). I think that, as it often happens, the picture does not do justice to the artwork. And you would never guess who live in this (my?) house...

Big Brothers / Big Sisters

A Queen

A Princess
(The similarity with the Queen is incredible!)

A couple of, err, popsicles
(Love is love)

An evening gosbeak
(on the mailbox)

Apart from a letter, it contained some postcards. Among them, this Balcony, an artwork by M. C. Escher. And, actually, the house of the postcard does remind me of my own house!

The Postworld on Stamps

This week Sunday Stamps is for Letters, postcards and the post. I have published many times this kind of stamps, as it is one of my favourite themes. And I guess it  is the same for a lot of mail lovers.

So today I want just to show you some of the latest I have got and really love.

From Belgium.
Smurfs are my heroes!

From Germany

From the Netherlands
I like this Escherian idea!

Escherian




Collage made of postcards sent by Heleen, Lia and R (the Netherlands) and Laura (the UK).

I like a lot this kind of postcards featuring groups of similar organised objects (update: in the postal collectors argot called multiples). You can see 
here and here my little collections. And I am afraid I am not alone...

PS Now I'm thinking that the idea of a postcard with multiple postcards with multiples is just a bit... Escherian?
