Received yesterday the collaged postcard from Mim Golub Scalin

On the back is the handwritten quotation:
"For some unknown reason, Mae thought about the number 5, whenever she looked at a de Kooning painting" (Her friends thought this was odd.)The card featuring de Kooning's Lisbeth's Painting is altered by adding the number 5 and the thinking woman. Everything in the quote is depicted in combination on the front of the card. Very creative indeed.
Many thanks Mim. Fond of your collages.

Added-and-passed postcard from Bruno Chiarlone, Italy

Serse Luigetti's "Mona&Lisa" image has partly, and the Belgian Desiderius Erasmus stamp almost completely turned ephemeral in the mail traffic. Perhaps Roland Halbritter is right. Yet the AI stamp is quite nice by the way.

Mailart arrives from Hélène Lagache, France

See Hélène Lagache's wonderful contribution to futuristanbul project also, arrived in the same envelope. Many thanks Hélène!
