Daniel de Culla - Burgos, Spain

The Menagerie has received its first plant specimens direct from Spain! on the back were some partial notes about "dia del arbol" or literally the day of the trees (probably like the america Arbor Day) It says " En tu barrio, seguro que hay arboles... puedes aprender sus nombres. Como ya sabes, un arbol es un amigo" roughly translated means "In your neighborhood, certainly there are trees... you can learn their names. As you know, a tree is a friend"... and this mail art was very friendly indeed...

Bruno Chiarlone - Italy

A plane! Passing through the menagerie will pick up some additional passengers and be sent back to Signore Chiarlone... fun to be included in an add-and-pass project!

Torma Cauli - Budapest

This delicate piece has brought news of springtime to the drudgery of Dread's menagerie... lovely to receive from Hungary!

Mincing Mockingbird - La Crescenta, California

Hark, a hawk! Lovely piece of original bird art has landed at the menagerie sent by the infamous MincingMockingbird... Mincy has a call out for mail art as well on this multi-use blog http://www.themincingmeerkat.blogspot.com/

Carroll Woods-- Menlo Park, CA

More fun and friendly spring time images have arrived at the menagerie. This delicate Eastern Tailed Blue butterfly is a fine addition to the good pirate Dread's collection and don't tell the other pirates but... he has a fondness for bunnies and flowers too this time of year.

Test Tower - Centralia, WA

Ahoy! Spring has sprung in the 4th dimension! Test Tower's cheery Happy Spring vibe has resonated all the way to the menagerie!

Eduardo Cardoso - Portugal

This submission is paranormal! Nice original collage from Eduardo C. in Portugal. The Pirate Dread picks up bits and pieces of language during his travels but can only guess that the headline says "a dangerous precedent"... maybe I will consult my dictionary..











you can send mail art to Eduardo and visit him at paranormalmailart.blogspot.com

Mincing Mockingbird - La Crescenta, California

Dread's aviary has several new additions thanks to Mincing Mockingbird! This piece has a charming morbidity perfectly suited to the Lippencott collection. Included are some of our favorites--pigeons, red wing black birds, cardinals, and some interesting historical facts (?) in multiple languages no less! One fact is for sure, on the back it states "of more value than money", without a doubt!
