Mail art mood

Been messing around with some paint, 

stickers, deco tape and magazines.

What do you think? 

I would love to hear more from my followers, visitors, fans,..!!!

It's a fairy day

(This is a different envelope)

I love using one pic for the back of my envelopes,

with a bit of deco tape it looks so pretty. 

For those who are curious: the front, 

maybe I'll add something little as finishing touch,

it will also depend on when and to who I am going to send the envelope to. 

Stamps, what else?

They represent the longest running series in German philately 

(used 1900-1922)

Little shocking fact:

The Weimar Republic stamps, issued between late 1922 and May of 1923, are the same designs as the Pfennig denominations of the December 1921 definitive series, but are now denominated in Marks!

Between January and December of 1922, the price of a postage stamp for domestic mail went up 800%, and the price of a postage stamp for foreign mail went up 2,000%.

(1922)

sometimes referred to as 

"The Union of North and South", featuring Germania above, raising the imperial crown.
