Heleen de Vaan: Banana Guard

[Dean aka Artist in Seine]

This little wonder arrived in the mailbox stamped from Holland.  No wonderful little Heleen illustrations that I can see, but I'm sure it is from her, and yes, very practical Mail Art.  Now lets see how this works. First I had to find a blue table cloth.  You know like the ones they have in Greece.  I then lay down the yellow thing.But the banana on it.

Then close it up.  Now isn't that clever!  The design is from Holland.  You see, sitting around smoking funny stuff can produce wacky ideas!  The little funny part of the hole where the stem comes out is actually a cutter to open the banana.  Simply Amazing.Now I only need 127 more.  Does it come in green?

Thank you Heleen. I hope we can meet up someday so I can get you to draw something on it.  I miss that part.

My banana guard arrived intact as well - a fab piece of mail art to receive!
