Quote from DKult Member Meeah Williams

"If trashpo has taught me anything its that every windblown street corner and cyclone fence is a veritable Dick Blick of free art materials."

Comment by ArtbyJac on July 29, 2021 at 2:27am: Thanks for posting. Glad you liked it. I enjoyed your mail art as well. I have 2 tots that take up most my free time so I have to choose between scanning art or making art,or I would upload what I receive more often

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on July 29, 2021 at 12:20am: And these tiny scraplet stapled boekie-type wonders from Francis Lamme. Trashpo in my book even though they aren't dirty. They're scraps, and charmed me. Plus I love staples. Francis also included asemics, a very nice two-sided collage, and a meaty letter to be answered soon.

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on July 29, 2021 at 12:09am: Is it too late? After finally scanning some today I show up to post Jac's trashpo from June 26--and here it is already! Well, I'm posting it again--I really love this thing.

Comment by DKeys on June 21, 2021 at 4:31pm: Hey Nance, would be great to get some NBS mail again. I am slow sending mail art out too..combination of stamp conservation and existential crisis:)

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on June 21, 2021 at 3:20pm: Hey Diane, it's so good to see you! And your found objects, they always get me. Things are, well, of the other items mentioned in that verse, I qualify for love and that's about it. And you? I just might need to send you something, even though I'm slow these days.
