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!
Katerina! either I am going bananas or the internet is. As you probably know I wrote to you in Ernie's blog and if I look it up here in the PC , my comment is there. I went to the phone so I could see the pictures too and found that my comment is in this blog, which if you look here it is not !!!.
So very BANANAS!
I am so very confused that I will go and make Chocolate and Banana brownies. Just those two ingredients. Will share recipe if it works.
Ok. the culinary experiment involving bananas and chocolate did not work. Or it did, if you do not expect a cake. It was sort of a banana custard with chocolate. Tasted delicious. Might as well mash the banana and pour melted chocolate on top.
I used very dark bitter chocolate and an over ripe banana.
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.
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,
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.
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.
