En Lydie weet maar niet niet van ophouden (I don't know how to say this in English!)
and the post office administrator made a suitable contribution, putting the levy announcement exactly in the space left open by Lydie!
Celebrate Françoise's 50 years!
I'm making postcards of a new style: great fun! Augment and ameliorate old postcards and photos! Françoise received the first specimen for her 50 years!
Suprise: a mail_art sending from Jessy Kendall
It's each time again a SURPRISE: to find in my mailbox, a colored, pasted envelope from a completely unknown person. This time, it was "Jessy Kendall": he also sends a big_smiling photo of himself with a friend and a series of add&pass_on sheets (that will appear here after transformation).

MailArt to BaluDart
A darts envelope went to Balu D'Art (http://baludart.blogspot.com/; see his sending "Florence Nightingale, the 'female hero' of a dart-amateur" on my heldinnen_blog http://wimplet-heldinnen.blogspot.com/). I included an article on Raymond Dart (1893 - 1988), Professor of Anatomy who became a brilliant physical anthropologist and paleontologist. In 1924, Raymond Dart found the "Australopithecus africanus", the discovery that made him famous.
MailArt & Collage to Sonnenschein
In a call, Sonnenschein asked for collages writing: "AND DON'T FORGET TO DECORATE THE ENVELOPE! MAIL IS MORE EXCITING WHEN IT'S PRETTY!"
So, I sent a collage in a mail_art envelope:
Its content, the collage, before and after it went into the envelope:

A series of add&pass_ons transformed during the Ascension w.e.!
The day before Ascension Thursday, that is, on the 16th of May, I received again an envelope from Mete Sarabi:
The envelope contained some 10 sheets with Add&Pass-on productions. I was irritated, frustrated: "I don't like these Add&Pass-on things." "I am not going to add just one element and then copy the sheets and send the whole business to somebody else!" However, one day later, at the beginning of my 4-day long Ascension w.e. ("on faisait le pont"), I thought that I could "do something" with / on the sheet that was most empty. And so I transformed
into
And then I got the idea that if I could take each sheet individually and rework it, it could be fun!
And so I did.
I sent the Red lipped "Yesterday was Woensdag 16 mei, a W-day for We-people" to the young anthropologist Siebrichie, in a Chinese envelope.
The next emptiest sheet
was transformed into another Red lipped male heroic specimen
and I sent it to my mail_art friend LYDIE:
Regarding the next one, I forgot to take a photograph of the original, so I restored it as much as possible by putting little while sheets on my already_made_additions, where possible…
OK, but my added sheet was
and I sent it to Pati Bristow, a woman discovered on the Internet and who has an ongoing mail_art call for PEACE-NO MORE WAR:
Number 4, originally
became
and went to MARIE-PIERRE, the other member of the Rocquencourt mail_art gang!
The next one, originally
went, in its transformed form
to João Alberto Lupin, found on Internet and who seemed to be interested in add&pass_on mail_art. In addition, he is living in Brazil, a country that, though its Portuguese language has a particular significance for me.
I completely forgot to make a photograph of the original of N° 6…, but it became
and went to Laura Barletta, another Internet discovery!
N° 7
became
and went to Céline Guichard (yes, another woman from the internet).
The next one, n° 8, was
and had to go to a man with a sense of humour. Zapping on mail_art related Internet sites, I had discovered already a Frenchman, Denis Charmot. He seemed to be the designed recipient of this add&pass_on…
And last, but not least, n° 9, which I did not like AT ALL before TRANSFORMATION
AFTERWARDS, I liked it very much. I sent it to Fat Red Ant, very TRANSFORMED:
Systematic as I am, I feel obliged to show Mete Sarabi's material that I did not (YET!) use!
