This beautiful pencil drawing was made by Carlos Flores Rom, Puebla, Mexico. But it wasn't sent to me. Carlos sent it to mail artist Valery Shimanovsky, citizen of Russian town Nizhnekamsk (see envelope below). Valery kindly presented me with this work but remained the owner of the envelope.

 
Anyone can easily understand why Valery Shimanovsky didn't present me with this envelope.

Mail artwork by Valeria Zunzun, Miami Beach, FL, USA. I like this Alyonka-Matryoshka though it is not the first in my collection. It's always interesting to compare. This one has a humming bird on its front because Valeria has currently a mail art project devoted to these little creatures: http://valeriazunzun.blogspot.com.

 
Envelope received from Valeria Zunzun. By the way, Valeria works on another project together with Sophie Blachet. It is around IMMIGRATION, you can see all the details at http://ganthine.blogspot.com.

 
It's time I believe to have a look at another Alyonka-Matryoshka. It was created and sent by Juan Rodrigues Lopes, Durango, Mexico. He called it "Russian-Mexican Doll".

 
This is the envelope of the letter from Mexican mail artist Juan Rodrigues Lopes.
