BANANAS

Okay, so far we are three for Going Bananas on April 21

Hello Ilya,  Rules?  We are working with Artists here.  Artists do not obey rules.  It's like herding cats.  But to answer your question.

Yes, you can make an artifact with the image of Anna Banana and mail it personally to Me.

And I will personally put Anna Banana in a crate and personally send her to you with a bunch of bananas.  Unless she eats then during the transportation.

But the rules idea of 21 April Banana Day is that a few of us will send a banana themed Mail Art to each other.  And hopefully they will arrive on 21 April Banana Day.

I hope I was helpful and not too silly.

Hi,  I got a message from Mail Art Martha.  She is in for 21 April Banana Day.

So we are now four.

Bananas to you Europeans now in-the-mail, might arrive by April21???

...or there after?

To Anna Banana in Canada and Ilya in Russia, and a few fellow Americans, (might get Banana Mail from Greece by April 21, 2022 :-)

To be clear, I make my own rules, Ilya. So I am sending bananas to you, Katerina, Amanda, Pagan Frog ( she is not on the list but I want to renew contact with her) and the one and only Artist in Seine. And maybe Michael Leigh , if I got a spare one. He is not even in the group but I owe him a mailing so he will have bananas, like it or not.

I, too, sent first to anna Banana, and then to a few of our Banana friends here in this group. Every one should get something a little different, but with bananas or stickers on mail art for sure,

( and some ol' Anna Banana artistamps, too)

Hi Martha. Excellent. I love bananas. Maybe I can add a little bit to your artifact, very carefully.

going bananas for April 21 :-)

some with banana/lemon yellow USPS stickers, hohum...

Two of mine are in the post.  Martha's is going to need a little more thought.  Flaming Bananas to match the shopping trolley is not easy.

Thank you for sharing the MAM SGT video, Dean, great!

I am preparing banana mail art for the five of you (plus one for Cascadia Artpost), but I will send it out on the 21st of April, on the day itself..

Hi Dean I did send a massage not sure if you got it, and would vert much like to take part. 

Yes thank you Dean for sharing the STG Burning video. That was a great performance! I wait with bated breath ( in case it fans the fire) for your flamming bananas.

Good idea to send on the proper Banana Day, Heleen, I posted mine yesterday but as I did not know you were on the list I shall send yours on the day. 

Dear All,

So far I see we have;

 Mim Golub Scalin

Amanda

Heleen

Martha

Katerina

and me.

So we do our best to send whenever we can.  But before the bananas get too ripe!

And maybe Ilya also!?

He didn't say.  Should I put the pressure on him?  ha ha

TIME for Bananas,

...and potatoes and onions, too?

Happy Banana Day...21 April 2021:

EAT ART :-)

Happy Banana Day!

to everyone who celebrates, including the recipients of the bananas mail which I’m sending out today:

So please have a little patience - I hope it will arrive before (and be usable for) the next following Banana day :-)

Happy Banana day, I have posted out to everyone today so it had the banana day postage stamp! hopefully they will all arrive with you soon. 

OH NO, I missed the deadline. I could give, at minimum, ten excuses, but I won't. What I will do it put the YELLOW MAIL in the postbox today, in honor or glorious BANANA daze. Ooops and Sooory. 

Out for pick up by the mail carrier. I'm so glad I got a sheet of Global postage stamps, this week. Now to make some banana cake!

And Bananas in Pajamas for Banana Day,

arrived today, from Mail Art Martha, yay!

Yes, Happy Banana Day to everyone.  Katerina and Mail Art Martha banana pieces arrived on time.

Merci

And from the Artist in Seine in Paris:

I recently received Mim's beautiful Banana Day work in the mail. I also exchanged a few letters with the famous Anna Banana last autumn and winter. All this gave me the idea to make a collage with Banana's image on it. I made two artworks on postcards (standard format). Topic: “The Banana Eaters”.
