Confidential and Fragile booklet from Nancy Bell Scott

[Lesley Magwood Fraser]

My first mail art from Nancy and what a treasure! A little booklet FULL TO BURSTING with stamps,painting, and medical documents all held together with safety pins...and covered with Nancy's spidery scrawly handwriting. "Fragile" is stamped all over the Maine medical centre documents - hope that doesnt refer to our Nancy! I am very chuffed to be the owner of this great little book.... Thanks Nancy!

Safety pin binding - Brilliant.

[Nancy Bell Scott]

Peck was great in To Kill a Mockingbird, one of my favorite books/movies.  My cat Scout was named after his daughter in the book/movie; our cat Mrs Ramsay is named after Mrs Ramsay in Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse; Maggie the Cat was named after the character in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof; even my cat Webster was named after the dictionary.  And then there was Cadence, who turned out not to be the least bit musical.  I may have to go with Safety Pin next time, why not.

Lesley, it's a pleasure that you're giving it a loving home.  I actually had you in mind while doing it, so even though we don't yet know much about each other, something of your character apparently came sailing through.  Diane, it makes me so happy you like the safety pins.  I just love those things and "regular" people seeing them in my "regular" art freaked out, I had to knock it off!  Those days are over.

This is fantastic! I love getting MA from Nancy. The safety pin binding is such a great touch
