VQR Postal Project

La Maison de la vache qui rit

New awesome VQR mail art received from Christophe (France). So many cows!

It also included two cowstamps I had never received and some pieces of cowliterature (cowdictionaries, indeed):

And inside, a brochure of the Laughing Cow's home: La Maison de la vache qui rit. I wouldn't mind to visit the place one day...

Metal Cow

Big metallic cow sent by John (the UK).

A real surprise, and also with a lot of cowstamps on the back (with perfect cancellations, in my opinion).

When I started my second project (Oz Postcard Project) the less I expected was to receive a postcard that would include the Laughing Cow and some Ozites (Tin Woodman and the Cowardly Lion). That postcard drawn by Heleen is just brilliant!

This idea had never occured to me... But after a short consideration I'm sure that the VQR could live really happy in the land of Oz!

Deadline

This project started on May 26, 2013. I have just decided that I will close the project on May 26, 2015. Your contributions are still welcome!

Christmas VQR art

Sent by Ângela (Portugal)

ACAB

Street art in Alacant (Spain). Seen here.

Gouda

Sent by Heleen (the Netherlands)

This postcard made me laugh when I read the back. Heleen explained that the cheese must be from the city of Gouda, as well as the buildings in the back. But the costumes of three people holding the wheels of cheese are form the city of Volendam. The two cities belong to different provinces, And besides this, the costumes are typical of fishermen, not of farmers!

I guess as I would have been misled as a tourist. Because I would have probably bought this colourful and bright postcard...

Me neither!

Postcard made by John (the UK)

Cheese Label

Stuck by Micu (Hungary) on the back of a letter.

Two collages

Two collages sent by Micu (Hungary). I find them really cheerful, don't you? As you can see, she reused different materials even, in the base of the second postcard... the tube of toilet paper!

The collages arrived inside a handmade envelope made of Grada Padano cheese packaging (eco-friendly mail!), but without stamps. They disappeared in way. Maybe due to the smooth surface of the envelope?
