    And I love you for loving trash.  Especially my trash.  You will have a short rest, but this won't be the last time.

    'Glad the olive leaves and stuff arrived in one piece. But they were  "limited" creations, as the postal clerk told me "don't do it again". I made a few for August...but will not chance sending ny more. sigh. ;-(

    Hello Diane,

    Thanks for the awesome "stuffy". I wrote about it on my blog today:

    Diane, I always put it on that status thingy when mailart comes in, and then blog it within a few days. It hit me today, though, that the status thingy doesn't hang around very long, right? You were on there yesterday, but I'm sorry you didn't know till today that your piece got here! Think I'll s kip the status part and just tell people on their profiles. Let's see, I should have everything figured out here by around 2034.
  • Nancy Bell Scott

    The status thing posts to the writer's profile (I think) and to the main page, but of course if one is butting in everywhere around the site for an hour or two, the status thing falls off the page. I'm not going to use it anymore, but am now having a little problem on your blog. I signed up as a follower, and clicked the link in the email that was sent me, but have tried to post comments twice and they don't appear. Do you know what I'm doing wrong? I'd ask you over there but I don't think it'll let me talk to you ~ :--)
  • Neil Gordon

    Glad you liked the bush bucks! Thanks for the Art! I like your running of the bulls piece,*******Clowns are scary!Road kill clown.
  • Nancy Bell Scott

    It worked, yay, thanks. I have a lot more looking around to do there--it's great and I'm so glad you're doing it. I plan to blog your excellent envelope of goodies tonight.
  • Nancy Bell Scott

    Oh also Diane I made something for you today and sent it. I just had to -- you really need it and might not have one.
  • PIRO

    Diane thanks for visiting and becoming a follower of my blog and for your comment on Toros de Sevilla. I also liked your version for this Mail Call using la "Maja de Goya" cool choice.  Sorry you can't join the dog group swap. However my pc is on its way for you. Hope you like it.
  • PIRO

    Ohhh glad you get the CATplus card today. Good weekend 2 u 2.

    Hi Diane,

    You may disclose my steampunk identity; that's quite all right. It's not a big secret (at least not to my postman, but that's another story). I'm glad you like the book of secrets:)

    If it's any consolation, I'm still trying to figure my "burning secret" out as well.

    Cheers.

  • Nancy Bell Scott

    What a nice thing for you to say! Thank you. It's a challenge. Let's put it this way: I do my very best to succeed at hermeticism. When I fail, everyone ends up paying. :--)
  • Nancy Bell Scott

    By the way, just 2'x2'?  Can't they at least give you a closet?
  • Nancy Bell Scott

    You really must write on it, Diane, that's what it's for. You could make out your list and lug the whole thing to the store with you, how's that for a swell idea? Anyway, I'm so glad you like it, and also that you found a good note today. I've got a collection going for you here, to go out fairly soon.

    Hi Diane...glad you liked it...he's giving you the "fish" eye... haha!
  • Frieder Speck

    Glad you like it!
  • Nancy Bell Scott

    Did you write somewhere that you are OUT of trash for trashpo? There is more than one envelope here waiting for you, sounds like they should all go out today. So they will. We cannot let this tragedy occur again.
  • Nancy Bell Scott

    I saw that and thank you, I am truly honored. Three envelopes went out to you today, but only after I had weighted them down for hours with giant dictionaries, railroad tracks, sad irons, and heavy art books, in an effort to beat the 1/4-inch thick stipulation in the postage charts! Drove them to a drop box; didn't want to entrust them to our postman, who is pissed off enough at me as it is.
  • Nancy Bell Scott

    Ha, you're coming through loud and clear. I try to remember what all he puts up with when he ignores my outgoing mail, leaves packages out in the sidewalk, and lies to me in notes about it. You'll have to let me know what I sent you, preferably in your excellent trashpo, because I forget already! Of the three envelopes, the biggest one has a note from me to you in it, explaining the stash in a vague way, sort of.
  • Lesley Magwood Fraser

    Diane I am loving your Plagiarist Pages for Penn! Some of your best work I've seen. Cheryl's book is going to be fantastic.
  • Lesley Magwood Fraser

    Yes I am also doing it for Cheryl. Have an idea but havent started yet, will do it this week.
  • chaosatlanta

    Thank you for the asemic postcard. It is my first piece of asemic mailart (and lovely shades of green)!

    DK-ULTRA - Asemic Trashpo

    A16.#5.DK-ULTRA.1 .ASEMIC TRASHPO

  • De Villo Sloan

    DK, I'm glad you like the Attitude Girl Asemic Glasses. I can't imagine why they'd be wet. I only used ink and glue. Maybe the ink hadn't dried? They are glasses from the Dollar Store and bandages. I didn't find them in the street. And that's not blood on the piece of rope - it's red ink too. I should have told you that. I wouldn't send people bioharzards! It was my first try at developing a product line.

     

    Yes! DK-ULTRA is the title of my Asemics 16 #5 chapter. It's Asemic Trashpo. What I gave you is one page. Not to worry - I intentionally made it look grungy. All the grunge is brown and red ink sealed with clear glue. The bloody tissue is really a piece of WalMart bag with red ink. Pretty convincing synthetic biopo, yes?

     

    I did have the great fortune last weekend of walking by a lawn - this guy was mowing and ground up all these candy bar wrappers. So I have small pieces.

     

    Glad you like the DK-ULTRA Asemic Trashpo and Attitude Girl Asemic Glasses.

  • Nancy Bell Scott

    How amazing that all three arrived not only in two days but that they arrived at all! I only put postage for 1/4" but let's face it, they're fatter than that. But if they'll only last you days, my dear, maybe you need a package a week. I could do that, you know, because of lifelong packrat tendencies and then 12 years of antiquing to boot. More stuff than I know what to do with. Most of the packratting and antiquing involves/d paper because, you know why.

    On a very exciting note your trashpo book for me arrived today and I LOVE it, Diane! You probably know how much I've been hoping for one. Love love love! It's really wonderful, it's out-of-this-world great, my very first in-person live Diane trashpo book. I am thrilled. I've already looked at it twice, and have many times to go. This will get blogged in a big way ~ after I recover from doing six posts today. Thank You Very Much! You've made me one happy trashpo lover.

  • De Villo Sloan

    DK, the streaming of the ink probably made it more asemic writing.

     

    Trashion - Yes, the Attitude Asemic Glasses are not meant to tell a story of a biking accident or something. I believe I've created a line of Designer glasses for Attitutde girls everywhere. I thought they might be the types who would wear them in public to make a statement. The glasses are educational: You do see asemically. Okay, that part hasn't been perfected. The technology isn't there yet. The green ink on the one lens is supposed to be asemic writing, but it dripped.

     

    I can get those glasses for $1.00 a pair at the Dollar Store. If your Attitude Girl thing starts to take off, I can supply you with all the asemic glasses you need. Designer glasses go for like $600, so the profit can be huge.

     

    One more thing - the popped lens and the broken piece on the glasses. I didn't plan that. A chair fell on the glasses when I was working on them. It popped the lens and broke the glasses. I thought it was great so kept on going.

  • Nancy Bell Scott

    At first it looked like one of the trash envelopes had come back--don't ever re-use one of my envelopes, I was disoriented for a full minute and a half. No, re-use as often as you like--guess what, the stamps didn't get canceled *again* and you'll get it a second time! Maybe we'll be able to communicate this way forever. This envelope doesn't want to die. Perused your trashbook again just now. It's hard to pick a favorite page, but that psychedelic green SORRY ticket for refusal to pick up yardwaste because no prepaid sticker was attached is high on the list.
  • De Villo Sloan

    I've got it! I'll market them as "pre-broken" glasses. Everyone breaks their glasses sooner or later. This way it's already done for you.
  • Nancy Bell Scott

    Very cleverly and totally fraudulent. Are the feds monitoring this site yet? Your brother might want to take a long trip about now. It will be interesting to see if the uncanceled stamps work for overseas mail! Let us know, won't you? By the way, yes, that was my hair. It was in a long braid when my husband cut off the end. You can understand why some people keep their cut-off hair, but did you see all the brittle split ends and so on? Why that got put in a junk box I'll never know, except that it is, after all, trash.
  • De Villo Sloan

    Thanks for your wisdom, DK. This was my first effort at creating a product line, and you've built up my confidence.
  • Nancy Bell Scott

    Well in that case the statue of imitations has probably run out by now. Lollipop with long blonde hair, that is too funny! Would love to see the junk drawer photos.
  • Lesley Magwood Fraser

    Oh Diane thankyou for the trashbook, I was so chuffed to get it today. A Ronald MacDonald jigsaw puzzle to do later! Your springcleaning list makes me think you are very domesticated and orderly, but I am not going to follow the instruction "Please destroy after reading". What a hoot!
  • Nancy Bell Scott

    You're welcome, and some categories are still a mystery to me but I'd trust you with a label! Hope I can remember what's in there...

  • cheryl penn

    Diane - your FAB  Plagiarist arrived  - THANK YOU!!! I love it! - Whose shopping list is that - a real one or a copy?? VERY glad your work included one of those! :-) X
