Nancy Bell Scott

Hey Nancy! Thank you so so much for the great trash you sent. The envelope is so beautiful that I am using that in a piece I am working on. You always seem to know intuitively when my trash reserves are low.  Love it all  XO DK

most likely...a bunch of red dots?...those, btw, are bullet casing prints from....Diablo Canyon...how about that for western romance

Funny Nancy, i have no idea what i passed on to you.

I always look forward to whatever you send.

Knee deep in designing a poster for Vanessa Place, a performance artist/poet who is coming to the University in May. If you have an interest, YouTube would be the way to see her work.

oops, she is a writer/performer.

Looking forward to that! I am a secret admirer.

Thank you Nancy!

Thanks Nancy, for sending your "EGG"...it will arrive when it arrives and we will definitely put it in the exhibit. Not to worry...and no stress about blogging, etc. ENJOY mail art...no such thing has being "behind", just enjoy: at your pace :-)

Glad you got the mail art, Nancy!

Thank you Nancy, you are very kind. I'm so glad you liked my misch masch! "The binding" is inspired from you...

Have a good week!

Thank you Nancy for the most wonderful photo-wire-thingy!!! It's so great!!

Nancy, I had a lousy day yesterday, but your beautiful card arrived and cheered my up. I am studying it closely! So many layers and so much detail. Thank you so much, xx

I'm glad that you thought of me, Nancy, I love it! XX 

Nancy!!!! So good to hear from you!!! i have you on my mail-art to do-list! Just keeping a low online-profile, been feeling the tyranny of email& internet lately which was giving me less time for art! I REALLY Miss  communicating w/ everyone daily,but right now life had been just to damn busy(besides the physical problems) Miss you!!!

Love that motto--your trash donations continually inspire me!

Hey Nan!!!!! Wabi Sabi is a Japanese philosophy(?): THE BEAUTY OF IMPERFECTION!!!: where you view objects that are decayed or weathered by nature (or Human)  use as being beautiful and something to meditate upon,.....perfect for our infatuation w. trashpo, rust,etc. I think if we can find can find beauty, strength and peace  in and an old stone, tree, cup, rusted  can or our aching bodies , there is something higher to that.... I hope this makes sense? Many Japanese artists and potters leave a  single flaw in their work as a salute to imperfection Had my MRI results last week, saw some Wabi Sabi in that!!!!!

Hi NBS, spent my very special day very special in Paris. Très speciale!! Thank you for the tune!! xo Svenja

Thanks for both and your friendship.

Oscar is indeed one of my all timers. Glad it got to you. Had fun doing it. Thinkin of you as I worked. I'll bet Maine is coming alive about now.

Thank you, Nancy...Lovely collage...and yes.....let the ellipses blossom like flowers in a Mary Cassatt still life....

You're very welcome, Nancy! Such sweet comments! But I really didn't have a clue that something would eventuate from that one photo!! It really was an amazing adventure, and thanks for being a part of it!

Nancy--your trashpo care package arrived today!!!!  FanTAStic stuff you included. Love the Japanese paper scraps and page--all of it is just perfect. The art you have posted here on your page is stellar. It seems that your pieces are getting more and more pared down, which gives them that much more tension. Really mesmerizing.----so good to see you around here more. You're the bestHope you are having a great weekend:)

Ah, my dearest Nancy, recently returned from NYC to another Bell Scott wonder... It was so very, very thoughtful of you to send me that piece, I really, really love it ('tis now adorning my desk)! So glad you're healed and back at work creating ever more beauty with which to adorn and charm the world and your adoring fans... ^_^ xoxoxo! Until...

btw/had to express my awe: I just LOOOVE this:

Hi Nancy, received your beautiful card last week. Love reading your funny notes, thank you so much!

Hey Nance--glad your shipment arrived. Did I properly thank you for the piece for or Esther and myself--a really beautiful, condensed, perfectly balanced piece.  My latest batch of art is all made with stuff either you sent me and/or Carlene. I will be posting more and maybe you will recognize some of the bits? I like how the things you send me give me a base to build on depending on the shapes, colors, and patterns. I guess I'm a trashpo junkie and you are my dealer:)  hope you are doing well

Nancy, So glad you liked the photograph! It is one of my favorite prints from my recent work! No worries about being behind. Isn't their a "no rush rule" for mailart? Take care!

Thank you, Nancy.  I suppose I took a break from Mail-Art, & art in general, because (as is the case with so many things) life got in the way. Recently though, I've felt that spark of inspiration again, & the urge to ease my way back into this creative outlet.

I'll be dropping a card for you in tomorrow's mail, just a heads up. :)

-AWJ-

Glad to hear it arrived safely, sent out quite a few the last couple of weeks. Thought maybe the mail gnomes were absconding with them. :)

-AWJ-

It really is. I'll freely admit that I am HORRIBLE about blogging photos or informing the sender when a piece arrives. I'm trying to improve upon that though.

-AWJ-

I sent you some stuff last month. did you get it? A small-ish Bookie?

Nice work Nancy.

NBS: I thought that you  said "I love this place!" on one of Gabriele Astride's Discussions, and it is that that she is referring to

So very, very delighted to receive THREE of your 3-scrappers!  I have blogged about them here:
