It arrived! Yay! On Anna Banana's Birthday - today.

Someone purchased (and ate) lots of banana snacks and sweets?…

Well it arrived yesterday and right on time for International Banana Bread Day.  Sadly I was so busy making Banana Bread all day I forgot to check the mailbox until 10pm.…

First of All, A big Happy Birthday to Anna Banana (24 Feb).

Anna sent me the December 2015 Banana Rag.  There may be only two more issues before Anna retires this publication, so contact Anna before it's too late.

Thank you Anna, I will be sending you my $10 just to see it go to the printing end.  And who knows where a electronic version would take…

I love this--so much fun! And the envelope is just as wonderful with its Apollo mission stamp.…

Don't know how this got through the postal service! Stark raving nudity!

Fast Eyes sent me a zine, beautifully collaged (is that a verb?) vintage postcards of damn, waterfalls, etc., with outsized birds and little people here and there doing incongruous things. Her imagination is amazing. I don't think it would ever have occurred to me to place these elements together this way. Love the bookmark and other bits, too. …

LIGMA sent me two pieces a little while ago -- the two-faced kitten ATC for the "Bizarre Animal" challenge --hand-drawn and painted beautifully. And the hand-carved print. There is something deeply appealing in LIGMA's art -- it always seems a little sad and is always lovely. Very honest emotionally. …

I was thrilled to receive this gorgeous painting of "Fantasy Fruit" from Lorinna. I envy her talent.

February 23, 2016 - The collapse of MinXus in 2014 has gone without commentary, and certainly many were relieved when it passed. Now, the…

Denise Woodward sent this ATC in response to the recent conversation around dada . . .

I've received many wonderous ATCs from Denise, but I'll have to admit,

this one just stops me in my tracks. Brilliant.

Thanks…

Received this absolutely gleeful collage/ready-made from Laurence Gillot . . .

I can't help but smile every time I look at it.…

love this piece and the orange and black texture is very striking...

thank you Jon *!*

I'm skipping to the end of the wonderful fun we had getting mail & Gnome Gifts from Carina in Finland, so this will be a "backwards blog" in that sense.  I'm just eager to show you all the little pillow and reading material she hid away in a wonderful piece of mail art she sent to us. It was immediately put to good use.

Now I'll do a 360 and show you the…

Well I must admit, this is one of the most fantastic puzzles I have ever read.  It must have taken hours to make.  Then again the scanning of it was also a challenge!…

Dean has cut up packages and put them together into this new wonderful banana creation. Dean got his certificate in odd-shaped cards several years ago, and it's good to see he is faithful to this art form. I'm sure he has a banana box full of gathered banana…

This article by Bob Black changed my life thirty years ago...

It has arrived in Greece! Happy HEART Day...everyday!

May have come earlier, but back logged at the post office,…

Wonderful envelope full of goodies!
