Somewhere I read a comment by Diane Keys that she does not like still lives with flowers and fruits and finds them boring. So when I received Diane's minimalistic postcard I thought of a special surprise. I went out and bought the ingredience to arrange a little still life especially for her. It is loaded with mail art related symbolism, such as BANANAS and TANGERINES.

I hope you like it! Thank you very much, Diane for the inspiration!

XX--you have made my day!! This is hilarious and I have to say your  photographic still life is far superior to any I've seen in drawing classes. The splashes of color perfectly balances my black and white art and I find myself transfixed by the tangerine leaves-they look so perfect as to be waxy. I do think my art got upstaged by that bust of ??? not sure who he is but I feel like I should know.  You're a genius XX thank you!!!

LOL Erni, plastics make it possible:)

I have to admit I took the stamps from the other side of the card - they came off quite easily - so they could be included in the still life.
