How I manage this? Well Nancy, it's all in the up and down movement; I stand up, I fall down. But still no luck with a new found glove for Katerina. Maybe people are putting those cords on their gloves so they don't lose them?
Hi Nancy..I use painter's varnish....similar to Modge podge for most of my collages...I also use matte medium but I like the shine that comes from the gloss/varnish
Nancy, just got your wonderful trashbook out of the mailbox, it's fabulous, zauberhaft, stunning, niedlich -, I'm still staring at it and wonder how you did this! It seems to be very fine and elegant and raw at the same time. And very nancyesk - anyway I just love it! Thank you VERY much! (I've just today sent my VISPO #2 to you). Will blog soon. Best wishes! Svenja
The felt apples harken back to a memory I THINK you'd mentioned about felt letters used in the good old days at 'grammer' school. Wasn't that you? My mind is like a siv (sic). The yodlers were from some old mags I was lucky enough to get from D.Stafford. It's all a blurrrrrrr. Oh, the Bee stamp was created by Carl Chew in the Pacific NorthWest. I bribed him to send me a few.My goal in this year is to make a stamp that looks legit.
Great to hear that you got it. We'll see what happens today, but I did plan that all four ladies would receive theirs on the same day. They will be funny to see all four as I ran out of material and had to try to balance each card with the original shredding. So who is going to tell Samuel?
This is ''The hidden cat'' (recto & verso) going your way my Darling! Leaving very soon. See it in a letterbox near you ;-D Good creative day to you! CIAO!!!
I tracked our exchanges and realize that it was my turn to answer your way...so that's the way it is. You rang my ''bell'' and it's perfect like that ; ) That's one reason why IUOMA exists, to show what we create and you saw my little ''n'importe quoi'' LOL, you even saw a ''face'' and you were so right a ''hidden cat'' was there. I'm glad you enjoy it. It was not yet destined to someone...sooo...I'm not questionning myself about it IT'S ALL YOURS ;-) Good night Nancy!
So to begin with, your envelope and MA were really quite lovely. I'm partial to that collage and color and the way it's put down. I've put up cork squares on my walls and am mad (in a good way) about putting up as many of the gifts of art people have sent me in just one year!Back to you and your first marriage proposal. I can harley see him but he looks errily familiar. Once I got engaged to some SDS guy just to get him off my back. So glad it was doomed. The article was hilariarious. Installed indeed. I read it- word for word and NOT ONE thing was done or said about the meeting.A whole page of gibberish. The Pilgrim Society is priceless. Going to send you something equally fun!
Glad you like everything. The key chains are what I make for the Art-O-Mat vending machines. It seemed only suiting to send you one since you are my biggest trash supplier:) top of the line stuff too. I did fumble with the mini trashbook quite a bit but I haven't made one in a long time and it was fun. Hope things are going well for you. XXOO DK
p.s. glad DKult Maine is now official with your rings-isn't KDJ amazing?
Hi Nancy! You are on-the-make! Wonderful art! I received your beautiful "pink" today! Thank you soooo much, very "happy" and full of cheer. I posted it at Erni's "Double Sound" blog! Tis a beauty xxx
Wow, Nancy, I got your wonderwonderwonderful inchies in the almost-accidental envelope. That is so fabulous!! I love the inchies and the other part too. It's special to me, thank you very much!!! (blogged it just now)
Bonjour Nancy! Many thanks for the 2 collage cards, and the pretty envelope, AND the reminder to send you some of my lino cuts. Next time, please send the blueberry waffles, and not just the packet! Now, what was it I had to do? Send Nancy some of my lino cuts? I forget! But I'll try and remmember to post her a selection of my lino stuff at the weekend.
Tell me that the beautiful BLUE splash mail art is coming to Greece? Pleazzzze! Thank you, Nancy, for the nice birthday wishes and for all the fuzzy, warm, pulp papers that I am using on Feb.14-mail art :-) Something coming to you soon! xxx
Nancy, you are really on a roll! A beauty arrived in Greece and it is an amazing painting! I shall have to hi-jack a blog where your other paintings are...what a great series! thank you so much! 'Love the blue!!! xxx
Nancy, I will have to send you a lottery ticket and hope you win! :-) Hey, I hope you put your sweet face back up soon. I liked looking at you better. :-)

No, that's also not right -- too formal.
Start again.
Dear Nancy,
I posted 9 more pictures of my latest Lino Prints yesterday that might interest you. If you'd like examples of them, send me something with a reminder, and I'll mail you the copies back. That way I get some Mail Art!
Thanks for all your kind words about the last batch.
Your beautiful pulp papers were a big hit on the Valentine cards, Nancy! Thank you sooooo much xx 'Glad you received one-even a bit late? and also the "Clouds"...which is from Joni Mitchell's song "Both Sides Now"...love these words! If you turn the disc on the other side, under sunlight or a light bulb...you get a rainbow, too ! :-)
I've always had a thing about coffee stained paper but it is only by mail art that I can truly celebrate the beauty of it "as art" with someone else. I knew you'd like it. The next card is already in progress with several rings formed. Enjoy.
Hi Nancy...today i received a big envelope from you, looking forward to your Hannelore Baron i found Katerina's El Greco instead!i'm a bit confused now..delighted with the piece you included though. beautiful. Thank you!
oh now i get it...i didn't know it was coming from you, Katerina and i traded vispos as this El Greco was not arriving we thought it went missing. so she sent me her last copy!
i don't blame him for taking detours away from this awful cold :-) now i have two, i'll send her one back! Looking forward to your work, fantastic as i saw it in the group post!
thanks Nancy. a friend gave me 52 pairs of lasts, old magazines, tags, alphabet stamps and, well the long and short of it is, i better get offline and get busy.
hi Nancy yesterday evening was when i managed to check my po box at the end of a long hectic rainy day, and WOW! what a magnificent vision...your VISPO is a great work, a great hommage. Many thanks Nancy!
I'm so glad you like it! I had noticed some of the comments you'd left regarding some of the other Alien Asemics I'd sent out; so I figured you might like one for yourself. :)
