Ask Anything
There are a lot of basic questions on Mail Art that are often asked and answered. This group might be the first place to look for answers. I will do my best to answer, but hope that other members can help out as well.

"Jennifer, I love your interesting wording. Edges look "nibbled" because pages from fallen-apart old books tend to be thin+brittle. They can crack any which way when I try to fold or tear them. Their unpredictability is one reason I'm…"

"Comments like this can keep a person going when life is strange and the muse is groggy. Like now. Thanks, Francis --"
"If you can find out what "collage" means, I'll be incredulous and also eternally grateful. But whether or not -- excellent project, Jon."
"Tuning in after several weeks, I send you sympathies, Kat. And a tactile message via post to follow.

"Nice blog, Kat -- thanks AND you're most welcome --"
"Your comment (from May!) reminds how much I enjoyed that time. The outbooks were inspired by Diane Keys's trashbooks, the epitome of free-wheeling and gutsy artists books. I was only a hanger-on working with studio scraps, mostly not the more…"
"Great description of your evolving process of asemic marking, Bradford. I'll be reading it again and again; thanks. "
"We can only hope this prediction is wrong, Richard, despite your long+wise historical perspective. I write real letters with some here + elsewhere (plus to people in power, such as endlessly to the top senate hypocrite, my ugh senator Susan…"

"Maybe I etc. can be funny next month or year, but we can always count on Dave in the meantime. Glad you posted, Kat."

thanks for the comment on the Pittore photo, I just looked up the poster I did for the UMVA event you mentioned and yup, there you were. I was there, too, but opted out of a table. I still talk with Robert Saunders weekly, another Maine reference, hahaha. Be well and stay healthy

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.

From top down. Left: Renee "Motherbrando"; Jan Hodgman. Middle: Heide Monster, and 2 from Petrolpetal. Right: Samantha Price, Rebecca Guyver, and David Stafford. Friends, I wish I could blog everything like in the old days, but being at least half-luddite (and getting worse, haha) prevents it, as well as having the slowest + most infuriating scanner…
