Mystery Mail Art from Switzerland

Oops. The postal service cares, they really do...

even so this envelope full of fabricated postage arrived half missing... not sure who sent it but I think it is from Switzerland. Either way the abundance of mail art miscellanea will be put to good use on future projects!

Carroll Woods-- Menlo Park, CA

"Sing a Song of Veggies"! New Years Resolution mail art from a regular here at the menagerie, Ms. Carroll Woods. Always a delight to find in the mailbox!

M. Greenfield -- UK? / Marino Menarin -- Italy

This fine package arrived at the menagerie already opened... hopefully none of the contents were missing but even so the outside was treated with as much care as the inside! With no return address I'm not sure who to attribute this to... Thanks to M. Greenfield and Moreno Menarin and anyone else who contributed to the cause!

Of course the pirate Dread holds Minneapolis in a dear dark part of his heart.... and much love to the music master for a fine envelope full of creativity submitted to the mangerie.

outgoing mail - Gruß vom Krampus

Spreading the word about Krampus, sending several related postcards out... explaining the legend and hopefully inspiring people to be good so they can be visited by St. Nick instead of the punshing demon he travels with.

Two cards arrived this week from Mr. Nero! Quite a nice surprise!

Part of a Macabre printmaking swap... this "box of bones"
