MailBag: May

As regular followers to the AnArt4Life blog know, I like to show you a work of art that illustrates the mail service in some way. Today a mail box that would challenge any postie.

This mailbox has been sitting atop Mailbox Peak – the summit’s retronym – for a few decades. It’s mostly there to hold the summit register but has evolved into the register itself and a sort of treasure trove of trinkets that people leave in the box. The trail was steep and unrelenting, somewhat limiting the exposure, but with a new, easier trail in place it sees quite a few visitors these days.

From M in Queensland we have a wonderful article published in the RACQ Road Ahead magazine showing what the Queensland spinners are making to help save orphaned wildlife.

Operation cuddles
Queensland spinners weave magic to save orphaned wildlife.

The picture above is of a rescued baby possum snuggled in Australian Super Cotton which the volunteer carers use to make fabric pouches for the little creatures to rehabilitate in on their way back to good health and release back into the wild.

Next, we reflect back on Anzac Day as Elisabeth has sent in a poem Anzac on the Wall which is too long to be shown on the post but a wonderful poem so please follow the link to ANZAC on the Wall by Jim Brown.


From D in Bendigo we received this amazing collection of books created by London based digital artist, Phil Shaw who put this bookshelf together using real titles by real authors.

Read the titles from left to right: it's very clever.

For the architects amongst the subscribers (hello to Trevor in Canberra) I found this article on an amazing house being built in Regional Victoria.
It's all about Proportion, Order, Structure, Space, Light, Materials and Character.

Architectural poetry: House in the Hills
Defined by its rectilinear parasol of timber batten and set on a working sheep farm in regional Victoria, this house prioritizes clarity over pragmatism, geometric consistency over lavishness, purity and poetry over function.

From M in Wheelers Hill we have this amazing image which contains the shapes of many animals and you have to find the camel.
