Petropetal defies the postal strike!

According to Cheryl Penn, there is (or was) a postal strike in Kwazulu Natal.  when I sent my mail art it was with a certain sense of defeat.  So, that I received this dynamic mail art from Petropetal has cheered me. Petropetal's envelope is a folded taped affair.  There is no inside as we know it. What I mean is it doesn't close or open, it just is. It measures 21 x 8.5 at its longest width. I never know if you can tape over stamps so they won't fall off.  Petropetal has and nothing terrible has happened! thank you Petropetal!

Cardboard Club and Mustard - Robert Ridley Shackleton

I can't help my yearning to anthropomorphise when it comes to Robert Ridley Shackleton's cardboard-tape-mark collages. I see figures in caveman gesture.  And then again it's landscape or even mustard or custard or a field of rape in a fleeting memory.

Robert seems to have systemised his beautiful collages since I last recieved one.  I love the date and the back which helps me to imagine these in a series of cardboard club offerings.

I also appreciated getting a message from Robert! I sent him a DKult relic which he tells me he loved.  Fair trade then.
