This retro collage, which looks like it comes from a long-ago women's magazine, arrived in an envelope made from pages of an old cookbook. Thanks, Helen!

An invitation to participate in the "Otto von Bismarck" call arrived from Roland in Germany. The artwork is by Servane Morel (Belgium). You can find more of Servane's work, as well as a piece from Roland, among the earlier posts on this blog. Take a look at the pieces that have already been sent in to this mail art call. http://bismarck-mail-art.blogspot.com

Oh my. Here's a second card from Atte with those treasure map shapes and mysterious list of numbers on the back. I wonder if more are coming, and if I will ever figure out if there's a hidden message?

My Google Translator says the words mean "Appearances Deceive." I hope that's correct. I also wanted to show you the colorful postage stamps she used. Thank you Maria!

Rachel sent me one of her trademark ATC-sized photo-collages in beautiful sunset colors and a set of new prints. Thanks Rachel!

This card looks like a treasure map and has a mysterious series of numbers on the back, but I have no idea how to "decode" it. How am I to unlock the mystery! Another cool thing about this card is that the postage stamp has braille on it. It's the first time I've seen anything like it.

This luscious food-themed card comes with the wonderful saying: "Life is uncertain Eat dessert first." The fresh fruit and rich cake look so delicious, I could almost lick the card. The image at the bottom is the clever and humorous documentation Patrizia sent out to all who participated in her "Bubbles" mail art call. Thanks, Patrizia!
