The revenge of the Trees

It is autumn, time to finish the mixed media mail art I started to create many months ago. The tree leave I used, had fallen from its tree in one of the previous autumns.
A lot of Trees have been murdered recently, both in my neighbourhood and close to my work. It makes me angry and sad, however I'm finding a little comfort in the fact that nature (hopefully) will 'win' in a way, after all.

I hope the receiver won't get too sad by this scenery, so I thought to paint the envelope in bright orange colours and to add a friendly hedgehog.

Oranjevrouw - from the Dutch woman's soccer team

This member of the Dutch 'Orange' women's soccer team I drew as a reply to Jimmy Connors in Berlin, who has sent me several collages and recently wrote very kind words about our 'Orange' teams.

I guess the player won't recognize herself in my drawing (she's a very good, excellent player!), but at least I had a try. That's what counts, doesn't it?!

Oranje-turkooise vuurtorens

Ik zoek en vind graag bestaande vuurtoren-kaarten, om die te sturen naar de mensen die deze kaarten extra waarderen. Zoals Ravindra in Sri Lanka, en Eva.
Maar, heel soms moet ik er een maken. Omdat de gewenste kleur niet voor het oprapen ligt, of zo.

I love to find existing lighthouse postcards, to send them to people who like these cards more than usual. Like Ravindra in Sri Lanka, and of course Eva.
But, very occasionally, I have to make one. For instance when the desired colours aren't available, and so.



Gemaakt voor en gestuurd naar Eva. En ik moet jullie toch ook de brievenbus laten zien, waar ik 'm deze keer gepost heb! De postbode was al paraat.

Made for and sent to Eva. And I simply HAVE to show you the mailbox I've put this mail into this time! The postman already was waiting to pick up the mail to deliver.



Kijk maar!
Look and see!
