Thank you for your lovely painted card "Cobre I", Roberto!

the novel that exploded ; la vente à la criée du Lot 49 ; dia 6x6 impossible à imprimer alentour ; repris au numérique contre une vitre ; l'infortune de Tune & Taxi dans  l'exvoto d'une chapelle du sud de la france ;

Don't ask me why.  I googled; "Banana Day" and then an idea came to mind.

  

If you would like to make and send a Banana Mail Art piece on August 27, 2012, let me know and I will put a list together.  No rules, you can send as many or as few as you want to the members on the list.

If you haven't yet joined the Banana Group, please feel free to do so.  Most of the members are, well should we say; "Bananas"

This is what Google gave me:

To start here is the back of Vizma's envelope declaring it a two-for-one with a warning.  She warns me not to fall for the really bad pick-up line inside,

The Pick-Up Line  Silly Vizma...I would never fall for this line again, It doesn't take me 3 times to learn my lesson but it sure is nice to know you care ;)…

Through a nice bit of serendipity, Arac sent me a piece on frosted flakes. My husband's name is Tony so we collect Tony the Tiger things. Arac…

Received this excellent piece from Claudia giving a family update. Her abstract characters are entrancing and their objects have a life of their own. thanks…

Well, the envelope says De Villo but I know that the one who did ALL this work is Dark wall. Dw has been a fervent and very prolific producer of Minxus art over the past months. Until now I had only seen his collection through the pictures uploaded in his gallery, but with this package I am now the very happy owner of several major, authentic and original…

Ooh, I love it when I have no idea who has sent me surprise mail art, and that happened a few times last week!

This from Jim SantAmour with a photo and vintage stamp, VERY nice!

From Kris Naylor- SPECTACULAR pearly envelope with stamps, and collage inside..…

Angie & Snooky (ATC cards plus a lot of fun stuff :)…

Last week I received two great postcards. And both of them sent me mail at the same time I sent them mail so our mails got crossed in the mail!

First, from Angie a fantastic postcard feauring M.I.A. one of my favorite musicians (at least I believe that's her!). I just love Angie's art style of collage, layering, shapes.

Then a postcard from Steph Dodson.…

I am very happy to hear from Bruno again. This new piece he sent me is very much in the line of his work, exploring textures, shapes, layers, soft tones. He is another aficionado and very successful user of the Re- concept. I hope this is a sign that he is returning to mail art? Bruno, thank you very much, you will soon get something from…

Vizma has such an impressive collection of stamps, they make for great envelopes. I could immediately tell this one was from her. The red bag? The ROOT stamp? Maybe... Inside, I could have a closer look at the famous octopus (NOT a…

Alicia Starr sent this great threedimensional piece, love this foil!

DK herself sent this great package: It seems that there are more formalities for the common DKult member than I realized before! Now I have to fill out this: 

Has anyone experience with this kind of commitment to…

Vizma Bruns sent this funny card full of fish confusion. What am I - a catfish? A rabbitfish? A clowntrigger fish? Superlustig, Vizma, I love it!  Especially the clown rolling his eyes... Thank you!!…

Carina sent this wonderful card with a text from a book about Leonardo da Vincis work and life. The underlying foto is just "zauberhaft", you can feel how hard these men were working. 

On the backside Carina asks:…

Received this super 3D-card today from Sarah Churchill, it's her birthday today, so I'm lucky that I got the present ;-)…
