Nancy Bell Scott commented on Toni Hanner -- tonipoet's blog post Nancy Bell Scott's Mail Art

"Much appreciated, Toni, thanks; and Kat. These days it's a bit iffy to assume art will arrive (or be welcome?), but so far I send anyhow. Kat, how is your mail in Greece; is mail arriving to you, even if sporadically? I'm imagining a 100%…"

Carlo Pittore

"Carlo Pittore! A great and unique character. His table was next to mine at Union of Maine Visual Artists show in 1989. He tried all day to interest me in mail art. It didn't take, at the time. Duh."

2020 03 18 from Nancy Bell Scott (2)

"You are observant; that's true, James. It was staring up at me from 1 of the 19 or so containers of scraps in the art garage. It said "use me right now or you'll regret it for the rest of your life." "

Nancy Bell Scott commented on Jennifer Wallace's blog post 3-scrap collages from Nancy Bell Scott

"Yes, how much luckier could we be than to have these worldwide mail-art connections, especially at a time like this? Including the desire itself to work at art, to enjoy it so much, and to give it, despite everything else. Somehow I think this…"

postal -- sent

"Hi James, nice to see you back here too! The social isolation requirement is allowing me to drop any hint of apology for my strongly hermetic tendencies. Quite the reprieve. I'll send you mail art shortly--thanks for your kind…"

"I've been away from this site for a while. I'm back as a result of social isolation. And I'm very glad to see you are still here and still making your wonderful art. Please send me all of it. ;-)"

Nancy Bell Scott commented on Valentine Mark Herman's blog post WHAT IS HAPPENING TO YOUR NATIONAL MAIL SYSTEM?

"That lockdown time-frame does sound optimistic, Val. So sorry your local Post is affected this much. USPS is delivering+sending, tho delivery seems sparser. Maybe I wish for too much, ha. Greece sounds serious, that's good. The U.S., like…"

"Feed the World Art" as Erni always says :-)

At 9:02pm on December 21, 2019, Mail Art Martha said…: Nancy, do not worry about big gap in mailing, reality issues always get in the way of good intentions. Here also this year and the two precedent have been confusing and 2020 does not seem to be panning any better.

I am looking forward to your mail, Walmarth is having a sale in Spring and it would be an honour to have a Nancy Bell ScottTrashpo piece on show.

By the way I did put a comment for you in the Dkult group but it seems to have disappeared. May be I forgot to save. It can happen.

I am having a good long break until January so Happy New Year, see you the other side.

Thanks you for your response, and we look forward to your donation. We are going to start an Art Association for our community and want to have kids classes this summer, so the sale of any type of art will help our cause.

Cheers,

Almost first blog since 2014 (except for Sharon Silverman 2019) -- thanks, IUOMA, for still being here
