Heebee Post #854 - Valery Shimanovsky - Nizhekamsk, Tartarstan - Russia

What a beauty! Folks, this a mighty piece of Mail Art and I am sure glad to have it and shall hang it near my art bench. Valery has captured the great sense of world belonging - as if the planet were united through Mail Art. Moreover, it is in the classic rabbit head (Thanks Ray Johnson) shape, declaring that it is the 9th of 10 created and, best of all, it boasts "Test Tower" on it's nose! I tip my hat to you Valery. Can't take my eyes off it! An accomplishment to remember!

Some notable features on the reverse side. That "Mail Art from Russia" rubber stamping has good amusement power to it and that stamping under it.............

I thought that outlandish looking little ink stamping warranted a bit closer view. I wish I could understand Cyrillic to know what the 'Angel with a star' is doing there and what it is commemorating. Why do these things fascinate me so much? Anyway, thanks very much Valery, this card really made my day! I'll be hatching up something splendid for you in the mail very soon. Love this card!

Mail Art - The Romantic Paper Sport for everybody that has imagination with heart!

September 17 - 2013: "Every human being is intended to have a character of his own; to be what no other is, and to do what no other can do." - Channing. One of the best uses of originality is to say common things in an uncommon way. Mail Art lends itself nicely to this lane of thought. In fact, if you would like to continue down that noble lane, Mail Art creation is a perfect venue for a display of originality - and "If you create something, you must be something" - Goethe. So, let's be a "Something" and have some fun as well. Heebee Jeebeeland welcomes all you "Somethings". The 4th Dimension is the perfect place for all you "Somethings that create something". Anything. And, if you will be absolutely silent in your mind for a moment and listen carefully, you can just hear the dreamy strains of Judy Garland singing that glorious tune "Something over the Rainbow". Ahhhhhh, yes. Remember: Senders receive! Test Tower / 1365 Centralia-Alpha Rd. / Chehalis, WA / 98532 USA

Welcome to Heebee Jeebeeland

When I was a kid, there was an old cartoon I saw many times on TV. While a child was sleeping, the unusual wallpaper all over his room came to life and began to dance back and forth, up and down in a rather fanciful symmetry accompanied by a sort of goofy graveyard mischief music. All manner of mayhem went on until the sun shone again at dawn and the dancing pranksters rushed back to their original spots and the wallpaper became still again. It is in the vicinity of that realm that Heebee Jeebeeland exists.
Please send Mail Art that needs to live here and be shown on this blog.
