BANANAS

Hello Dean aka .... where is to send? Anybody in the group? 

HI Tomoe!  Painting on a banana is one of the most ridiculous, relevant things you could do in this group, I think!   Linda

Yes I do have bananas!

From top to bottom: from Angie and Snooky, Finnbadger, Linda French, and Lynn Radford. A thoroughly bananarific haul! Thanks.

PS: Nobody has posted  any from me. Did they arrive? I sent out 8 banana cards, all different, and I didn't photograph or scan them myself, so I hope folks will post them if they got them. Thanks.

Nice blog post, Angie. Thanks. I see you ended up with the Banana Nebula card!

So yesterday brought me two more wonderful banana delights! One from the other side of the world (Mom Kat in Greece) and one from the other side of the James River (Mim). And they are both wonderful and special.

Katerina's gift plays double duty as both bananagram and Valentine. Swoooon!

Mim's gift is a sweet ATC: a return to Tiny Town with bananas! Mim's Tiny Town show in Richmond, Virginia was what lured me into IUOMA. So just remember, it's all her fault!

Thanks much for the bananas and the love Mom Kat and Mim.

Oooops, Mim's card somehow disappeared from my post below. So let me try try again:

Hi Linda French

Thank you!

It's a painting but also curving. I did curving with toothpick. 

If you wait a little while the line became black to show the lines. : )

Thanks a bunch xxx

Dean's banana mail finally arrived yesterday (my poor scanner - it is not a fan of nut oil!) - I have a slight suspicion you may be bananas AND nuts. There'll be a blog post about the delicious internal contents of all the banana mail eventually.

In the meantime, thanks to everyone on the list and Mim for a bonus banana mail - it was so much fun to see how everyone approached this - lots of imagination in the group. Here's a group shot:

And I think all of my yellow and green envelopes have arrived at their destinations - looks like Carina's was the slowest, arriving Feb 23rd, even though I sent that at the same time I sent Momkat's to Greece. So here are all the little banana mailings huddling together after being hatched. Of course a few were infiltrated with small, grinning, hairy fruit.

Ha ha ha (that's supposed to be like an evil laugh) I lured Dan into IUOMA! Pat pat pat (that's me patting myself on the back.) So glad you like getting my new idea - Tiny Town trading cards. A limited edition of only 13 cards, by the way. 9 sent out. Hope they all arrive.

For some reason, I missed the initial call to remember Banana day, but I'm glad I got caught up.

Hooray to everyone of you Banana folks out there!

Absolutely, Mim. I also enjoyed the banana-on-head stamped on the front of your envelope, and was surprised how nice the forever love stamp looks on bright yellow. I'm glad you caught up with this Banana Day set, too. Wow, I feel honored to have a limited edition of Tiny Town. With its odd giant street banana bunch. Brilliant stuff from you, and from everyone.

Nice a buncha bananas, Mim.

Tiny Town GR is awaiting for some...perhaps, yes, maybe?

Slow going to Oz, Rose, but so glad that they arrived.

Your "banana" from Greece was the first one I sent out EARLY

on Feb. 3, I think! Wow! 

Nice collection of Banana Mail Art has come to Greece,

Many thanks to all!

(still missing one from Lynn...and hopeful to get

a banana-trading-card from Mim :-)

My February 2015 Banana harvest. Looks like they all made it this time.  Thanks to everyone for taking part.

And last but not least from Alicia Starr.  Although I must admit that I just found this one under the bed and I'm not sure if I ever blogged it before.  But it's worth a second look.Thanks again Alicia

Hello. Just let people know I got banana mails from mim and Phillip today. I will post the photos eventually.... But thank you both of yours!! 

See it here:

World Banana Fortnight! International arrivals from Dean and Rose.

Finally!!! Banana Mail Art arrived from Lynn...got lost in the mail,

or delayed because of slooooow Greek postal delivery?

Here it is! thank you , Lynn:

Also a little extra one, when a Cascadia Artpost "Peep" 

goes banana:

from MailArt Martha...thank you!

'Found something old-from-Erni...hahaha:

it was all-in-the-pudding then :-)

I guess when you guys say "bananas" you mean "B - A - N - A - N - A - S!!"

The peep in the moon is fantastic, Kat.

The Peep is from Cascadia ArtPost, and the moon card is from Mail Art Martha...very clever indeed! :-)

Peeps are these very tiny people..who usually live in model railroad land,

but art now out in mail art land..watch out!

The MacBook screen has been repaired and the Blog Freak has just done "Banana" mail art :-) ...a bit delayed, but nice to remember Banana Day.

Many thanks to you ALL! xxx
