Alicia Pixie Head Malpass -- St. Petersburg, FL

The Menagerie was excited to find a friendly note from one of the most soft spoken artists in town--but don't let her calm demeanor fool you, she can make some wicked zombie art!

Mac? Troy, MI

This recently received piece of mail art included a puzzle for us here at the menagerie... being unschooled in all graphic texts we didn't quite decipher the senders name.... If you care to venture a guess please do! At least the address is clear so we can return the favor in days to come :)

Patty Davidson -- Crockett, VA

Patty was another double dipper here at the Menagerie sending both a collage postcard and a fine actual letter--several pages long (but not shown here s0rry!) Wonderful to get real mail--see more and get involved at http://justletterrip.blogspot.com

Carroll Woods-- Menlo Park, CA

Carroll made two return trips to the Menagerie lately--she is busy with a 365 Mail Art project (search for it on Flickr and join in the fun!) Always a pleasure to find her works in the mail, especially love the coordinating postage stamps....the owls are fantastic (personal favorites of mine I must admit)

Cernjul Viviana--Buenos Aires, Argentina

Always good to see a friendly face! And even more fun twice! Thanks to Hugo for this true blue painted card! And for the fun, if not quirky, little ACEO zine!

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!

Music Master -- Minneapolis, MN

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.
