    As you have not seen fit to join us in the world of fakebook, I had to come directly to you here at IUOMA to share my Rustpo finds of the day. Know that you are consistently in my thoughts, Dear Friend! ENJOY!

  • Lynn Radford

    :D Will be sure to share more with you as they are uncovered. The current rains are keeping me from my trash-aelogy dig, but I hope to return this weekend. Hope you are well and Making Art Every Day!

  • Terry Owenby

    Thanks so much for the awesome envelope and altered book page! I love altering books and their pages so I hope to send you one in kind soon. I've been behind on mail art but hope to get caught up soon.

    Got your wonderful mail art my friend!!!! You have not veered of the course of your art! Hope you are well, always a pleasure to correspond with you!!!

  • Carmela Rizzuto

    Hi Nancy--Recently I picked up my mail art and found your collage, 'above the fray'. Thank you for remembering me. I have admired your art and am delighted to be the recipient of one of your treasures. It will be added to my IUOMA photo stream and be blogged soon at http://decordisart.blogspot.com/

    The 1966 Polish Millennium stamps and the  others that you used were a surprise. I had to look up the Polish stamp and was impressed with the history of the country that it commemorates and am sending you the link just in case.

    Thank you, Nancy...I'll write soon.

  • David Stafford

    You guys okay out there? I've seen some scary videos of the flooding.

  • Thom Courcelle

    Uh-oh, looks like someone's having a birthday. Have you dried out from the storms last week? It'd be awful if it was too wet to light the candles on your birthday cake!! (I also hope no one is leaving your birthday cake out in the rain… wasn't that a song?!!)

  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    Getting the cake dried out for tomorrow, Oct. 11?  :-)

    Salem absolutely LOVED his day at the salon. Must be relaxing for him and/or he loved the attention!

  • Alicia Starr

    Nancy Bell. Your mail art (most recent) is packed in my suitcase. Thanks!! Doesn't look like you are in a slump to me. Heading to the desert. Will see Nadine. 

  • Lynn Radford

    More pics for you that I took in the fall, but never made time to pop over and post for you. Thinking of you and hoping you are well. :D

    Wow, Nancy -- thank you so much for the 3-scrapper! Your work is just completely amazing. I love the text (which I have to try to read) and the layers of torn paper, the ink and paint--everything about these is wonderful. Your envelope is groovy, too. And Happy Birthday!

  • Toni Hanner -- tonipoet

    I'm honored, Nancy!

  • De Villo Sloan

    Thx NBS. FAB new work. Already getting a great response.

  • De Villo Sloan

    NBS, I'm glad you like them. Keep them if that's how it goes.

    Asemic Front is going to work and it's going to be more than collabs, so no pressure there.

    My problem is I don't know how to make an unfinished piece. All the collab foundations I'm making end up being finished pieces.

    So I would very much like to use your work in some form in AF. So maybe it will be collabs or some other format.

    But it will work out. Thx for the message, DVS

  • KDJ

    Nancy Bell!  What a loverly surprise to find your envelope in my mail box.  I knew it was yours immediately.  Isn't it interesting how we can recognize the "voice" of our mail art pals?  Loved the beautiful little three-scrappers.  They make me want to get back to my happy art fun room--soon, soon, soon.  Thanks so much.

  • Chorianopoulou Maria

    thank you very much you took part in my project!!I'll let you know...keep looking in my album LEX-ICON

  • Charlotte Geister

    Hi Nancy, I am writing from Germany and have seen some of your collages by accident!

    I am really fascinated by them, because I am also a fan of collage and love to work with different papers and materials. So I would love to exchange mail art with you and send you something of myself the next days!!

    Best wishes !!

    Charlotte from Göttingen, D

  • Janine Weiss

    Thanks you Nancy. Yes I remember. I've many mail art from you. They always smell so good et the color is not going away.... You are a great artist.

  • Norma Soulet

    Hi Nancy,

    Hope you had a nice day today.

    Just so you know, I mailed something to you today.

    Please post when it arrives and I hope you like it.

  • Ficus strangulensis

    Howdy, Nancy. I'd love to show the Fikasso but that was years ago and I've no clue where it may be today. Probably composting in a landfill somewhere. YOB-f PS. I think that 'lope was the one in which you sent the asemic piece I admired.

  • Ficus strangulensis

    and speaking of envelope contents incompletely recognized... I just found a response from Jim Leftwich from 2004!!! I'm afraid to look and see if I responded to it earlier!

  • Bruno Cassaglia - poetArtist

  • Audrey Enough

    ya hoo and hoo ya!  look forward to it.

  • Carmela Rizzuto

    Hi Nancy--thanks so much for the 3-piece collage. I will be posting later in March.

  • Audrey Enough

    nancy bell scott!!  your works sliding out from their darksome envelope....what gifts...  such loveliness!  had to unearth and read aloud the whole poem!  many thanks.

  • Terry Owenby

    Nancy, I can't tell you how excited I am to be the proud owner of some of your gorgeous minimal ink pieces! I am in love with the simplicity and tiny bits of color. I keep staring at them, wondering what message I can take from them. They appear to have a mystique about them, if only I could grasp it. I can't thank you enough for your kindness. I will repay with something...something not nearly as good as your work, mind you. :-) I will scan and post your pieces eventually but doing that usually takes me awhile and I wanted to at least get this thank you sent! 

  • Jayne Barket Lyons

    Happy Monday, Nancy! Wanted to ring your BELL (see what I did there!) and tell you that I’m working on something for you today. It will be dropped in the mail  mañana! Have a good night!

  • K Rolina Artist

    Thank you Nancy for the lovely scrappers that I received today - they are beautiful, I really love the concept and the execution.  

    I am a little embarrassed that I accidentally bombarded you with two mailings.  I can't remember where I left my memory, I think it was last seen in my 40s, sigh..
    Anyway, thanks again - totally love your work!

  • Toni Hanner -- tonipoet

    Nancy, your work honestly takes my breath away. Thank your for the FOUR 3-scrappers! So delicate, they're like flowers or leaves. I love them.
