Thank you and a shout out to both my mom's for being a part of this. This Mona Lisa came from Alexis Weigel of Illinois USA.
The 2nd mail art masterpiece project has everyone responding to the same image. Images will morph into one another in the video. Finished art due Dec. 31, 2021. No returns. No sales. Physical pieces will be archived and may be included in an exhibition after 2022 yet TBD. Digital files also accepted but may not make it into the final show.

Cathi Schwalbe
Cathi Schwalbe of Illinois USA sent two fragile Mona Lisas to be handled with care...
And a blast from the past - her recreated Girl with a Pearl Earring from the original Masterpieces series with actual 3D pearl pin piercings.

Ferenc Nagy
Ferenc Nagy of Germany sent the most incredible Mona Lisa homage to Norman Rockwell and Bob Ross I've seen. Very nice. Sadly, my scanner cannot capture the subtle detail of the paint.
Jonathan Leiter
Jonathan Leiter of New York USA sent this Elegy for an Abstract Expressionist, Jackson Pollack. I know this wasn't meant for this project but it totally fits so I'm posting it anyway. :)

Unknown Artist
I got a fun anonymous postcard wishing me a "Happy Halloween and welcome to my mailing list bitch! BWAHAHA..." I suspect it came out of this call for art so here you go. ;)
Tracy Hurley
Got a Halloween card from my friend Tracy Hurley in Missouri, USA that seemed like the Mona Lisa went out adventuring so I'm including it here...

Keiichi Nakamura
And here is a brilliant photocopy Mona Lisa from Keiichi Nakamura. Unfortunately the movement scanned a little dark.
