After getting the postcard with notes from Cathérine last week I received this wonderful mail art from Nancy Bell Scott. I favorited and commented it a few days ago and Nancy wrote that it was already on the way to me at this time. I love this card because of the wonderful colours and the very special touch (??) Nancys cards have. And I love the tiny "Nancy" on the bottom right, as if there is a mail to Nancy or about Nancy in the background.

 

The reverse side is also beautiful and funny, especially because Nancy and I share a love for secrets:

 

Nancy, thanks again, the wonderfulionisticality of it is great! (Oh, look, the noun to the adjective invented himself!!!)

Ok Cheryl, what is NBF again? If you ever told me? Now instead of No B.S. I get to be No BoyFriend?

Thank you folks, and Svenja for doing such a nice blog post--much appreciated. There is a whole overlapping layer of collage, and at least a partial second. Any deeper layered appearance is due to some papers I hadn't gotten out in a while that I made by scanning and rescanning and printing and reprinting, etc--used only my own text or family letters for the print and only my own painted book-page scraps for some of the colors/shapes that peer through.

This is great! I don't know how she accomplished the layering in the background, but it's hauntingly beautiful for sure. Wonder what she said in Asemics?
