BANANAS

Great to see all these different Banana Mail works!
Thank you Artist in Seine, for posting - I am happy to see the Banoon arrived well.

And this Banana Mail Art I opened today - with many thanks to Katerina. Happy Banana Day to all of you!

(p.s. I heard that is was paperclip day yesterday?!?)

Here is some running banana.

The Minions sing a un-understandable banana song for an hour.

And I always thought this Brazilian song is about a banana, but it appears to be about a Bacana. What would be that?

Thanks Angie. It arrived today!

Hey everybody.. I have a Cards of Encouragement for Matt Mail Art Call going on.  My friend has cancer and I want mailartists to send cards to him.  Check out the information here - http://iuoma-network.ning.com/group/mail-art-projects/forum/topics/...  Thanks!!

Glad you got it Angie! I'm going to make more door hangers... so fun! 

Here's a Banana Mailart Piece from Momkat in Greece.

I've been slowly putting up the mailart pieces I sent out for the World Banana Day.  Here's six of them in two blog posts - http://art.davethemonkey.net/  more to come on the blog soon.

Will post more of the banana mailart I received.. just been so busy lately. Hope everybody's having a great banana weekend!!

India inspired Banana card arrived on Friday. I had not signed up for Banana Day this year. The usual cause, lack of time... So glad this arrived! Thank you Dean!

My Banana Mail was late posting, but better late than never, right?! Thanks to the five folks from whom I have received Banana Mail! I blogged about it all here: http://trashbubblesandlifeslittlebits.wordpress.com/2014/02/23/on-m...

Carina, Happy it arrived.  I thought you were on the list that Jen sent around.  In any case Bananas are a year round event.  Inspire the next Banana!

Well I'm going to be honest.  Jen's Banana arrived on Saturday, but then the party began and just ended on Monday afternoon.  So sorrie fur ta latte plog.

No more of these Jen, they are dangerous!   But really made me smile.  Thanks

Inspire the next banana. Ok :)

Ok, some In Seine people party all weekend, eh? Well it is Mardi Gras season ...soooo, how about TIME for Bananas, too?

From In Seine, in Paris...BANANA TIME ("great minds and all that...):

And from Jen...Rainbow...PRIDE BANANAS. Fantastic!

Bananas, Bananas...the Banana Boat has arrived in Greece! Thank you all!

From Heleen came a nice yellow banana on the envelope...

Oh, yes...can't forget a BLUE onion to MomKat, too!

Thank you, Heleen xxx

Alicia Starr throws a ripe one in here.  Very funny but why did Val come to mind when I opened it!  Maybe the CEO part?

And You can't beat that.  Thanks Alicia

Angie Cope must have a story behind this picture.  It's too Sure Real.

Thank you Angie, but what's the story, morning Dory?

Banana art from Alicia Starr...too funny!!!!

Dean - You're so funny!! Hope the Banana Party didn't go too crazy... actually, it would probably be more fun that way.. ;)  

Here's the very cool and creative Banana Book mailart piece by Rebecca Guyver in the UK. 

Got this funny Banana mailart piece from Alicia Starr

WOW a Lego Tower Bridge!  And yes, I like these last two banana pieces you received.  There must be still a few out there waiting to land.

Here's a artsy mailart piece from Angie Cope. :)

Angie's Banana Art has arrived in Greece! yay!

Liking the details very much...thanks!

Here's a big mailart piece with the devil and a woman's face on it..from David Stafford in New Mexico. :)

Fantastic Banana-Moon from Heleen,

Look at that "stamp"..it's his friend, the Haptic Werewolf!

And the envelopes is going bananas! Great BLUE prints!

A happy Banana Couple-in-Love!

Thank you very much, Artist in Seine!

Dean - My husband and I built the Tower Bridge LEGO set and it's the 4th largest LEGO set with over 4,000 pieces. So cool! I love LEGOs.

Banana Art from The artist in Seine, Jen and mr. legendary.

Ahh, this must be where Dean has been hiding.

and door hangers from Jen.

have a look at those little shoes.

and from mr. legendary: "WHY YES, I AM A RIPE BANANA," Sheila Duncan said into the phone. This is how the story on the back side of the card began. Trust me when i say it is a classic DS. (Too long to type out.)

Thanks to all.

How great to see what mail art people can create, inspired by this nice fruit only!

Jen, cool Lego bridge! And wow, 4000 pieces, such a patience!
Here's a Lego lover, too!!! Sometimes I like to draw it (e.g. this purple pepper) or create sceneries and make a picture of it (see third photo on Eva's blog) but of course constructing using the real bricks is great.
But oh, how difficult it is to build a Lego Banana!... :-)

A banana Lego? OK, it is yellow :-)

A Lego bridge...that is amazingly huge, Jen!

That is surely a bridge too far!

Banana or not, you decide.

Yay! Banana stickers have arrived in Greece from Lynn Radford!

Other banana art might be arriving soon, too?

Thank you, Lynn!

Yay! Bananas in my mailbox! Let it be Banana Day every day!

Thank you very much, Jen, for sending!

Lovely smiling bananas on the envelope.

And an interesting banana [dressed as a pet bottle?] inside :-)

Belated Banana day wishes on a foldable Banana. Put in that letterbox today to travel to CKaterina in Greece.

More pictures posted in the odd shaped postcards group.

Can't wait to see when this one arrives!

I thought I put this here already? Received from Anna Banana!

That's from a banana box, Heleen! Let's see if the mailman brings it or if I have to pick it up at the post office??? (or will they toss it in the recycling bin? Or will the gals help deliver it?

No sign of the BIG banana from Heleen :-(

and mail delivery will slow down to a stop for the Easter holidays soon...

but this banana mail arrived from Dadanautik:

Now can anyone help me out with this one.

No post mark or cancelled stamps.

Who oh Who could it be?

Maybe the IA Ref 5 cent Johnson Bros stickers could be a clue.  Now who do we know in Iowa that drinks!

Johnson Brothers in Iowa City distributes a wide range of wines, spirits, beer.

Loving this blog by Dean! He truly captured the spirit of the Banana here:

Alicia Starr, Iowa gal?
