Nancy Bell Scott

Welcome! This is such a fun site. Take care :)

This is a friendly welcome to the network, from a friendly mail artist living in a friendly country. A good starting around here seems to be snail mail art exchange.  I would like to be the other side on this very beginning with you at IUOMA.  Your  envelope should read as follows:

Patricio Duprat

Av. Paraná, 1489 apto. 1004

Curitiba-PR

825210-000

Brazil

I look forward to see your piece arriving on the mail.  I will send mine to you after receiving yours.  It’s my promise.  Patricio

Hello from California! Spent a few summers in Maine and a dear friend lives in Raymond, Maine. I'll send you a card of welcome.

some people don't bother photographing, of those that do ususally do in their own way, i don't believe there is a proper "protocol." you can either just upload the photo, upload the photo and notify the person you received the art, write a blog, etc.

 

my own method is to photograph, post to the relevant blogger blog (i run several), then notify the person i've received their mail and give a link to the blog post, then put the physical mail into a stack that waits a response.

 

but that's just my own system; everyone seems to have their own!

 

i hope you fiure out yours!!!

welcome!

Nancy, nothing is different this side.  To go to the post office is the nice part of this to me:  something is on its way.  On the other hand, it´s death time.  Ou babies purchase one-way tickets only. Life and death, a process that is not diferente in the mail art kingdom.  I´ll keep you posted on your baby.

Hi Nancy...In regards to your question about my Black & White Project...You can send me anything. If the white is too faded because of age, I will scan it and run it through a program to make it a more pure black & white. I thank you for your inquiry. Sharon

Why Nancy Bell Scott-- So nice of you to leave me a note on my blog!  And you are not far away from Portmouth NH at all!  Do you know my family used to take summer trips to Old Orchard Beach in the summer?  Wow!  I would be pleased to be able to send you some poste artistique in the near future.  Please keep an eye out for it...  All the very best to you, and I hope you will have fun releasing your own art into the postal miasma here.  All the very best, Thom C

oh goodness... I know that we had a pop-up camper that trailed behind the car and that we used to stay at some of the camping grounds mostly. It was the exotic thing to do for a young family I think.  My mother so loved the beaches (and still does).  We also haunted Short and Long Sands Beaches.  And of course my great-grandmother and her sister lived in that yellow gingerbread house in Strawberry Banks, so we would stop to see her during trips.  It seemed so far away from Vermont when I was a small little child--in some ways, everything is so compact in New England, I think we used to consider distances as much greater than they actually were. Surprisingly, both my brother (and his young family) and myself live on the west coast now, though our parents still live in Vermont.  // You are very right about the wonderfulness of mail art correspondence. It's been a joy to "meet" people, and terrific for inspiring one's self--of allowing one's self--to MAKE art and be creative!

I HAD THE SAME SHIRT!!!!!  LOL!!!!!!  I think about that shirt all the time!!!!

"Your area now might not seem so different from New England in some ways."  ...You'd guess right! Both my brother & I are VERY much outdoor enthusiasts--and the Pacific NW has astonishing opportunities for outdoor activities and vistas of amazing magnitude!  I promise to tell you about some of them in future correspondence!  Here for instance are some pictures from my last hike a couple weekends ago... this was on the Olympic Peninsula (near and dear to my heart):

 

Hello Nancy - looking forward to swopping :-) X

 

Nancy, I look forward to it.  Thanks for the friendship!

Hail the queen of '3 pieces'. I created  a series in the same vein a few years ago. Looking at the few that remain with me, none had only 3 pieces.

Nancy, these are quick paintings, not the series I mentioned previously. will post a couple of those tomorrow.  

 can you post pic of your desk. it couldn't possibly be more congested. 

Made something for you today and will send tomorrow.  and thank you for your response.

Love the work and your studio is rather wonderful.

Hi Nancy, I love your style of collage-very minimal yet extremely powerful!

not sure if this link will work, but try it??

Like very much your photos here....K.

Hey Nancy :-) - If you go to my page and click on albums, on page two there is an album called The World is a Town Contributions. I cut up/recycled a book I made based on the Novgorod Codex. If you are keen on contributing (the more the merrier!) I will send you a piece as your next mail art and you can respond? That would be great :-) X

Yes, would love to have one, also for the archive of IUOMA PR-materials....

with best wishes,

Ruud

A Time Machine :-) -yip, could do with one of those for sure - alas - there are none on sale :-) X

Hi Nancy,

Ruud

Nancy, Thank you for the wonderful Asemic card!  I do think you have found a home here in IUOMA and I look forward for sending you something in return.  I'm a bit behind with my return mail, right now, but don't give up on me!  LOVE, LOVE the card you sent!!!!  Sue aka prettylily
