PROY#71 received from Simon Warren - Tring, G.B. - 01/09/13
And Simon's 7th sending is also a coloured one! It is especially a suggestive text!
PROY#70 received from Simon Warren - Tring, G.B. - 30/08/13
ORANGE! Of course, I see the orange queen, but I could imagine that there is still another association. Not knowing the ?2nd? sense of "trifle," I don't understand the "Willemien is asking for a second helping of trifle." The English-French dictionary says (also) "diplomate," but I don't know the dessert called "diplomate" ...
I looked up some images of "trifle" and I really think I wouldn't be able to have "a second helping of trifle." By the way, I would ask for a vegan version!

PROY#61 received from Thérèse Waryn – Saint-Amand les eaux, France – 30 May 2013
Thérèse sends this poetic card, made with a page from (the French translation of)
"Monsignor Quixote", a novel by Graham Greene. The page talks about a letter with a read seal, which Father Quixote fears to open. It tells him that the Holy Father has see fit to promote him to the rank of Monsignor...
PROY#60 received from Rosa Gravino – Cañada de Gómez, Argentina – 30 May 2013
Rosa's joyful card was accompanied by a call for Visual Poetry.Wednesday, 15 May 2013
PROY#59 received from Annick SB – Chenove, France – 14 May 2013
Annick sent me this card, with several delicate pink, red, orange and yellow references!
ON top of the card, she writes: "L'art postal, j'en suis timbrée !". Litteral translation: ""Mail art, I'am stamped of it!". I'am not sure if you can say: "Mail art, I'm loony of it!"
Above the address, Annicke proposes "En mai poste ce qu'il te plaît !", that is, "In may, mail what pleases you!", probably by reference to the saying "En mai, fais ce qu'il te plaît", that is, "never cast a clout till May is out". This is the theme of a call from Françoise Bourgon (see

PROY#58 received from Darie - Красноярск, Russland – 15 April 2013
Even if this Postcrossing card was probabably not sent to me as mail art,
I consider it as a contribution to my PROYproject!
Darie sent me a PostCrossing card made out
of Krasnoyarsky bus tickets. She
writes that people in Krasnoyarsk believe that "lucky" tickets bring
happiness to whom gets them! A ticket is "lucky" if the sum of the
first three numbers is equal to that of the last three. For ex. a 622370-ticket
is a "lucky" one: 6+2+2 = 3+7+0! So, Darie proposes me to search if I
have a "lucky" ticket—and yes! I have one: the 220400! Thanks to Darie
who sent me (some of) her bus tickets—and, in addition, sent me a "lucky"
ticket—and in addition, made a wonderful red PostCrossing card out of them! I'm
HAPPY!Tuesday, 7 May 2013
