A new series, a new format, and a new theme.  Mim has gone Bananas all the way.Thank you Mim for this classic.

I could find no fault with Mim's Banana Mail Art piece.  The name is spelt correctly, correct postage stamps were included, no messy glue traces, there is a banana present, and it's even yellow.  It's perfect.  Bravo Mim

Thank you Mim.  Now my turn at a try with…

Very clever Mail Art from Mim.  Referring to my Lost Mail Art Group by sending me a map of Paris.  And exactly the quarter I live in.

Thank you Mim.  I am lost for words.

The best place on earth.  Unless you are driving a car or crossing the street.

Thank you…

     An excellent "altered" version of Maurice Utrillo's Street in Sannois.  The folks of Sannois woke up one Sunday morning to find this huge crate in the street. 

     They called me on Monday morning to ask if I would be interest in coming to Sannois to take the crate away and make Mail Art with it.

     Sure I said, so I picked it up, sent most of it to Suus in Mokum for a Banana project, and a leftover piece will be going out to Mim.  Problem…

     The mailman carried this one up to the top floor to give it to me personally.  "Here you go Monsieur Marks.  Do you think there's art in there?"  "I don't know Bill, I'll have to open it", I said. 

      I don't think the mailman's real name is Bill, I just call him that.  I think he likes it as it gives him an International appearance.  Much better than those double barreled French names like Jean-Claude, Mark-Francois and…

Simple yet WOW.  An old Paris map (doesn't have the velib (bicycle) stations, and a 153 year old letter in French.  Not to be mistaken for a French Letter. Yes you can google it.

   The letter in French was stamped in Newcastle on Tyne, UK (where Val comes from) on March 13, 1860.  Amazing how the two go together so well.

Thank you Mim, material do…

N° 899 and on her way to 1000.  Wow, and the exposure is right over me.  Thank you Mim

Well I never get mail art from Paris, so this is my first!  What a nice surprise from down the block, .. by bus.  I never think of putting French phrases on Mail Art, but this is a great phrase!  What will be, is what will be!  Thank you Mim
