Nancy Bell Scott

Nancy, I agree with Nik below! I got your package today and Mr Gregory Peck himself delivered it :))) Thank you so much. Noticed you put my favorite 3-scrap with the package. Will hang your tricks on my studio wall tomorrow!

Nancy--this last trash batch was the best to date! I LOVE everything. I felt like I was opening an ancient crypt straight from the NBS archives. thank you so much. Your little tiny masterpieces are so interesting. a deck of playing cards like that would be great like Mr sleepy head!!  XO

Hi Nancy, I got your wonderful 3-scrap collages yesterday...I loved the directions and have already made 3 myself. You are inspiring me! Thank you.

Thanks a lot for your wonderful and inspiring 3scrap collages! Got those today and these made my day! 

Best wishes & hope for further mailart exchanges,

Hi Nancy,

I received your 3-scrap studies yesterday. Thank you very much - they are fab! 

I am sending something back to you today.

Nancyyyyy! You are too too, kind!! Wow! I received a 3 scrapper + 66% more bonus scrappers! That equals 5 , yes? Sort of, my maths is pretty scrappy... Thanks very much for these little treasures!!!

Hey Nancy, recent return to your wondrous envelope of 3 scrappers - they're marvelous! Mmm, and instructions too! Thank you soso very much for your ever beautiful touch and thoughtfulness! (btw, I cannot fathom anyone ever being sick of this theme - the ideas/instantiations are infinite...) (Hmm, too much "to-do" backlog presently, but might have to send you some scraps for you to possibly plumb the potential of...?)

Best to you ma chere, xx, C

Ha! You should've just said," No, Vizma, 3+ 40% minus 7/8ths of 11 scrappers = 5 scrappers. I absolutely would've believed you. (And thought to myself, "Man, she's  sooo smart.)

I forgot to show You this. it is linoleumknifes in wich all my secret lies, just wished they were smaller, I use the v-shaped one;

Hi Nancy--glad they got there. you clearly had to be the first recipient of the piece inspired by you. It was pure synchronicity that my husband found an AS IS tag around the time of that convo. I have never heard the term upperous, but now I will be using it each and every time I get a chance!! The lettering on the Acceptance piece are cut out from various bits of trashpo, but the as is one is my handwriting. If that looks like yours, then we are morphing into each other which is great, because I need a change!!!

About 10 years ago I had the chance to sail on the 'Alyssa' a Texas tall ship at a Galveston Museum.  The guest captains were from Maine and Mass. and they definitely love sailing those ships!  If I remember to, I'll print out another set so you can tear one of them up!

Who said anything about my family coming with? If we swap lives, I will be able to luxuriate in Maine and dig through all your even more luxurious trash

Why I am involved in Mail-Art:Woke up one morning and there it was, in my DNA.

We came to the same something, in the same somewhere, at the same time (same month, same year).  That´s brotherhood to say the least.

Mail art from Old Orchard Beach coming my way? Oh God!!!!!!!  You made my day.  We exchanged messages last week.  At the time I went through your profile to refresh my memory and found out what probably is one of the better sentences I saw in this place.  I plan to quoute your "Woke up one morning and there it was, in my DNA" on an envelpe soon. Your name will be properly honoured Ms the author!

THANKYOU for the series Of wonderful NBS 3-Scrappers!!!! each a miniature masterpiece!

-Jim.

Hi nancy

I got your great mail art yesterday. Love the instructions and samples of the 3 - scrapers. What a sence of humor you have. Great. :) Thank you so much. Will answer soon.

I have found a kind of eraser that is (I think) a little bit softer than most erasers people use for carving, it the  classic "for big mistakes" eraser wich give me quite many when cutting up. It's funny cause this eraser comes in like five different colors but it is the yellow one that I feel is the best for carving, could not imagine the different colors would have different feel to them when carving. The green is the worst, pink is not that good either :)

I am pleased you liked the boekie (the covers were monoprint scraps from some experiments I have been carrying out this summer). 

Can't wait to find more 3-scrap studies arriving through my letter box!

Glad to correspond with such a talent as you!

 Hi there

I have sent you some mail art. I hope we can become mail art friends. Is your technique wax-based? Its really great.

Hey Nancy--glad it got there.  Sooo sorry to hear about Rams. I will be thinking of him and his lion's mane.  Still using the trashpo supplies you sent me daily!

Beautiful BLUE 3-scrappers arrived in Greece.

Wonderful! thanks so much sweetie!

Nancy... I sent you something a few weeks ago, did you get it>>???? Ever time i make something w/ the "Bell"(s) Seasoning theme to you it seems lost in the USPS? I will try again w/ some other art... Love your Blog spot, your work is Stunning!

http://iuoma-network.ning.com/profiles/blogs/scrap-art-from-nancy-b...

Thank you Nancy!

So Glad you got it!!!! Things i sent out seem to be getting lost in the USPS lately... Don;t get blogged down w/ the blogging! Hang in there!

Best, Neil!

Yes Nancy! Only you can probably read my trashpo scrawl! The USPS May not have "Neil to English Interpreters!"

All the best!

Nancy, Love what you said on your wonderful word press blog that " A piece of art is not finished until it is seen by the other person"! Wow!!z You Rock My World Dharma MoMa Nancy!  Keep Scrappin'

thanks and you're welcome, Nancy. Yours hasn't arrived yet but I'll let you know when it does.

Nancy, your beautiful ma has arrived. And brightened the November gloom. I'm always thrilled to open your packages. Thanks so much.

I got your Beautiful 3- 3 scrappers and the lovely letter written on an old religious track. The old insulation was the icing on the cake! Also the old U.S. Poland stamp too... "Rust never sleeps" & "Go trashpo stamps! And Sciatic demons be damned!!!!

All the best!

Thank you Nancy...the "fear no art" was a large sticker from Mim...I reduced it down to postage size and printed out a sheet...I don't remember where Mim got it...it is very appropiate for me....

I value your comments....thank you again *!*

 Thanks for the Shalom Nancy! Also Brightens my day to hear from you! Its amazing what we can find through the "scraps of life" like the insulation to turn into art! Keeps us going and the Sciatic daemons at bay for a hour or so....

Ah, dearest Nancy... Recently returned from NYC to two huge piles of mail (and I already have a HUGE backlog which I imagine I shall be addressing for at least a year...) Aaaayway, salient among them (well, for me anyway...%_^) was an envelope which stuck out above all the rest: MA from you! Exceptionally Beautiful as ever my dear, as ever... (At some point, I think I may gather my little set of "3 scrappers" and have them framed.  But that is a maybe/I do hesitate because as if I did so, I would lose visual access to the backs, which are strong and stunning also... Oh, decisions...) Thanks again ma cher! Hope to see you in the mail soon love... xxxC

I believe dogs understand everything--it's people who don't

Nan!!! Love the "where is your poetry" on the old poster card!!!! WE see beauty and poetry in so many things... both natural and mundane, I have always loved radios since i was a kid, i even like "Static"!!!! Love the old USPS Stamps and the old Kodachrome colors you don't see any longer! See you in the mail soon!XX,Neil
