BANANAS

 AKA Anna Banana Appreciation Band (ABAB)

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!

    On instagram there is this banana art maker:

    https://www.instagram.com/isteef/

    I think I've mentioned it here, before, but the reason to mention his account again now, is that there is an interview with the maker and meanwhile you can see the making of some banana art :-)
