The Devonian time period (as some of us know from Studio Ghibli's Ponyo) was the Age of Fish, but also the era that marked the rise of the 4-legged land dwelling tetrapods ... go, tetrapods! Devon is the home of proper British cream teas, and a large number of fossils. We have come to the end of the Downton Abbey series, the Jane Austen Refuses to be Serious swap didn't get off the ground, and our Anglophilia and some ancient sharks do need to be fed, so stiff upper lip, keep calm and carry on, success consists of going from swap to swap without loss of swap-thusiasm, et cetera therefore .... With all due diligence, we shall create one mail art item (ATC, envie, postcard, decorated letter, zine, paper doll et cetera) for TWO (yes, two!) partners in, which we invite our favorite Devonian creature or plant to a Devon Cream Tea using proper Devon Cream Tea technique. We shall feed the Devonians scones on the beaches of the Jurassic Coast, we shall feed them clotted cream in the cafes, we shall feed them strawberry jam in the tea shops, we shall serve them a proper tea and never surrender our dedication to Archaeopteris and the proliferation of oxygen-giving plants, Coelacanth, Tiktaalik, Megamastax, Dunyu longiforus, Dunkleosteus, Schizophoria, Ammonites, and the first spider ancestor. Our Devonian devotion will never go extinct! Two partners, two mail art invitations to tea suitable for a Devonian life form. I will Dunkleosteus any unsent swap. Open to all ZmAcS members in good standing. Carpe carpam! Image is Linda R. Herzog's Cup of Tea on Earl Grey -- Linda, I want to meet you! (Note: Devo is from Kent, Ohio, not Kent, UK -- who knows if they would be appreciated by Devonians or appreciate a good cream tea?) | |
