Monkeys Love Banana Line Art

Here’s more of the banana mailart for the World Banana Day and International Banana Bread Day Mail Art Exchange.

The fourth piece is going to Anna Banana who’s turning 74 years old on February 24th. I made her a fun Banana Party birthday card.

Hope she has a fun banana party on her birthday!

My next mailart piece is Monkeys Love Bananas going to Brazil to Celestial Escribe. I drew Lil Dave the monkey for the price of one banana and colored it with colored pencils.

I also included a banana bread recipe for Celestial to bake his own banana bread!

The sixth mailart piece I created goes out to Mathom House in Italy. Banana Mailart Line Art was created with watercolor.

Banana Boat Pride Party

I’ve been trying to get back into mailart and just kept putting it off. I set up the World Banana Day and International Banana Bread Day Mailart Exchange on IUOMA with 11 other banana lovers. I made 11 pieces of banana mailart. I had lots of fun doing it!

My first piece went out to Dean in Paris, France. He set up the World Banana Day exchange last year. He always sends fun mailart pieces. I sent him the Banana Party mailart piece.

The next mailart piece goes to Rebecca in Suffolk, England. It’s a fun Banana Boat floating on the water.

The third mailart piece is a Banana Pride Flag going to Momkat in Greece. Hope she has banana pride too!

Here’s another Keep Calm and Create mailart piece. I’ve decided to do a few Keep Calm series. They’re easy to make and you can change the saying.

Here’s my Keep Calm and Eat Bananas mailart piece that’s going out to Rebecca in Suffolk, England. She sent me a great banana postcard for Banana Day. I’ve gotten lots of mailart from the BANANAS group on IUOMA.

I created this Go explore mail art postcard using a playing card, theatre flyer and magazine pictures. This one is going to Hope’s sister Kim in New Hampshire from the Keep Writing Postcards project.

I recently saw The Sunshine Boys starring Danny DeVito and his head fit perfectly in the King’s body. We’re off to Ibiza for part of our 2nd honeymoon. What are you going to explore this summer?

The Secret eXCHANGE is an exhibition in South Korea filled with secrets. The outside of the envelope contains your persona while the inside contains secrets.

The front of my envelope has a glass of wine with a flower in it, a Harajuku Lovers logo, puzzle piece, a bar code, QR code and TOP SECRET written on it.

The back contains a skull that I got from a postcard at CES, QR code, Authorized Personnel ONLY!, We are watching you right NOW!, Secret File #28756 and Please enter your code.

I acted like the envelope was for a Secret Agent. The code is the secret code the Secret Agent must punch in so the envelope can be opened.

What secrets do you have? Send your secret to the exhibition. You still have time – they’re accepting submissions until February 19, 2012.

Get LOST in the MUSIC

Get lost in the music, a photo by Stimpdawg on Flickr.

Here’s my first mailart! It’s going to a guy on IUOMA in Brazil. This art piece features me dancing. I love dancing and getting lost in the music, hence the title. I like the close my eyes and let the music move me. This piece is how I feel dancing in the clubs. There’s lots of bright lights and sometimes confetti falls from the ceiling. My boyfriend and I love house music. It’s great that house music is getting more popular in Las Vegas.

Gold and Silver are the colors of the future

I decided to put art on the back of the envelope. I picked Gold and Silver as the theme. I clipped cool things from magazines. The Gold road is leftover Christmas wrapping paper.
