Nancy Bell Scott's Comments

can't wait Nancy--I was too ashamed to tell you that I gave up the vigil once the canned goods ran out.  how could they cancel the postage?  I guess they are balancing the scales for all the many other times they didn't.  Don't blame you for covering up DKult--he probably had a moral dilema wondering if he was supporting some dangerous type of kult. 

MAILART CALL:

Nancy, hi, I've sent it ages ago! Maybe it took a little time off. I'm glad you like it! xxx Svenja

wow--no way. I'm thinking DKult mail might have been flagged or something.  They are really cracking down on junk sent through the mail these days.  They return practically anything sent to the now MIA in Burbank Nadine and then this?  Horrible.  And this means my 3 day vigil at the mailbox was for nothing.  I will resume in two days time.  Nothing can keep me from getting this mail!!!! This only makes me more determined. thank you USPS for strengthening my resolve and commitment to mail art!!!

I know--the bubble one is cool but I would feel a bit vulnerable.  Even a dog house would be good for a little shelter from the elements.  I will be out there first thing tomorrow a.m.

I'm willing to undergo any degree of hardship or discomfort to receive mail from you, but I guess a tent upgrade would make the process more comfortable

or this?

Damn--been in the tent and just now saw this message.  Once I thaw out, I will plan to be out there on Tues with more blankets and a gluestick formula that will not freeze

I will be camped out starting at 2pm today.

glad it arrived intact. It IS trashpo but shouldn't LOOk like trashpo--it's a subtle distinction.  We have to make it look effortless.  'also glad you like it.  i haven't managed to make much art lately. unfortunately very little discretionary time:(  hope you are doing well

If your patience is big enough, go to www.scrapnauta.blogspot.com.br and from there to Scrap Papo.  It´s a 47 minutes interview in portuguese.  The first 20 minutes is just conversation, after that I display some artworks and speak about them. 

No strange, no deja-vu my dear Nancy. It´s just a question of pure mail art sainthood that inspires and connect mail art guardians like we both are.  We better never forget that mail art must take reality by surprise.  That´s the job and we do it handsomely.   

Woke up this morning and there it was, in my desk, ready to go to the Post Office.  Yes!! I did my homework, 

Frankly, speaking as a New Mexican, I am sick o' the sea. Let's huddle by that wood stove and cracker barrel and take deep breaths of the rubber cement infused air.

Duly noted, Nancy. This feels like a good day to hop on a plane to Maine and knock back a few cold ones with you in Old Orchard Beach before returning to my den of damp cedar shavings and broken whirligig.

That is the right attitude, Nancy. One man's garbage is another's flotsam or jetsam. One woman's flotsam is another man's detritus. One monk's cast offs are another's carry ons. One woman's toaster oven is another's heart defribulator. One thing I try to do when I pass on my "legacy" items is to make sure I cram as much as possible into the box, receptacle, nook or cranny. Also, each item is inspected for the four Cs. Is it CAMP enough? CAN it be read in a number of ways. Does it rank above 2 on the COOLNESS scale and finally can it be served with a CUCUMBER dressing. As far as quality control goes we make sure it's gone before we begin to insure wide-ranging levels of cruddiness. Would you excuse me now while I add another C to my four Cs?
