Gentle push from Judith Heartsong

[Nancy Bell Scott]

How did she know I need this?"Get yourself outside" and wonderful old doors that remind me of the happiest days of childhood, spent at my grandparents' house in upstate New York. Literally, a breath of fresh air for the mind. I don't get out enough now and think that Judith must be psychic.

And Judith's colorful watercolor of fruit, embellished with a nostalgic note about her own earlier life. This is a touching and uplifting piece of mail-art, Judith, and I thank you very much!

[Nancy Bell Scott]

Oh Judith, that's how you do it ~ thanks for the description of how you make such a solid piece that still keeps its deckled edges and isn't too severe for your lovely watercolors. It has a great feel as well as look. I was wondering, because it feels indestructible yet has delicate things going on, a great combo.

Stunning! I love the thick paper, and the door....

[Nancy Bell Scott]

You too, Judith. I have now been outside--to check the mail, forgetting it is Labor Day. Holidays are inconvenient when you're involved in mail-art. I'm enjoying your card--might just hang it by the door!--and will send you something soon too.

[Nancy Bell Scott]

Not yet, haha, but I'll have a different answer next time.
