The theme is Bananas & Anna Banana. Many of our members are « bananas » themselves, others are »fruity », a few are « nutty », and one is completely « ape ».
If you are none of these, don’t worry we can help you with specially designed projects and exams for your progress to the banana status you deserve.
We will also explore the many works of Anna Banana as we give appreciation for involvement in Mail Art & "Art".
PS I you are « crackers » or « loony », this group may not be for you.
Also: see link and fill in the form and return it to Anna Banana!
What a banana day - thank you Finnbadger, Katerina, Dean, Tonipoet and Carina (TicTic I am watching the letterbox...). The banana pop-up gallery looks like this:
Thanks to Kat (twice! Her February banana arrived the day after her April one), Dean, stripygoose, toni, linda and tic-tac-toe (ptrzia,your banana mail arrived today! ). I think just carina's is still to arrive.
As I knew that my sendind do not arrive to anyone in the Banana Day I decided to wait and celebrate it going to the post office yesterday... so everyone will receive my banana-sending late, but at least it will have been sent on the correct day. Makes sense? Doesn't matter! Every day is banana day!

Hello, beautiful bananas! I invite you to participate in the Mail Art Call I’m organizing. It is very special for me, part of a personal, poetic and academic research I am developing about the significance of practicing Mail Art today. Was wonderful to exchange with you on the last Banana Day, so I would be very happy to receive your posts over this time. I promise to continue this network! :) Thank you very much!
