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!
Inside a great contribution to the 'What or whom is she staring at?' mail art call (to be published later here at IUOMA) and a call for reflexive (reflective?) mail art (see below).
But behold the envelope above, see the fresh-and-green-and-ripe-banana-coloured lines/chevrons on the air mail envelope!
(I hope one day the even-larger-one will arrive, too (sent years ago, see the odd-shaped-postcards-group), but at least PostNL and Hellas Post have recognized this present item as Mail, not a Piece of Cardboard :-) )
Coming soon, 18 November International Banana Appreciation Day Anyone up for an exchange for this event. Let me know and I'll put you on the list. You can sent to as many as you want on the list. Your Banana Mail Art should arrive around the 18th of November
Hello Bananas! I sent out a bunch of Banana mail last week. Unfortunately some of them returned to me undelivered (grr). I sent out them again. Just wanna let you know that some of the bananas are a little late... :)
Quick, easy, safe for children to use and dishwasher safe - you can't ask for more than that! Thank you FB - especially as I missed joining the November banana event :>)

Discovered about 20 or so of these old Greek blue 'n white envelopes in a tiny shop in the old agora...special sending for Banana Day, Nov. 18 :-)

Heleen de Vaan
Received it 5 days ago! My fingers itch to open it, but I will keep in control. To be opened on 18 november! Thank you, Katerina!
Nov 11, 2016
Heleen de Vaan
Received this many weeks ago. I first wanted to open it on 18th of November. But I cannot resist any longer!...
A Banana, by Mail!
The back side, with stripy postal addition:
Who is the sender?? The postmark doesn't give a clue...
I only know two people from Germany who would be able to send me 3D mail art, Erni and Ptrzia. Who-ow-who?
I decided to unbox the content.
Unboxing picture:
Ouch! Was my first reaction when the Banana opened her mouth. Dangerous teeth!?!!...
Nov 11, 2016
Heleen de Vaan
*Phew* No need to worry, my fingers are still connected with the rest of my hand. It is a Friendly Banana:
A Happy Banana, even!
I think I know whom to thank a million times: the Mail Snail!
Or also Ptrzia?
Anyhow: Thank you very, very much, and Happy Banana, too!
