Gentle push from Judith Heartsong

How did she know I need this?"Get yourself outside" and wonderful old doors that remind me of the happiest days of childhood, spent at my grandparents' house in upstate New York. Literally, a breath of fresh air for the mind. I don't get out enough now and think that Judith must be psychic.

And Judith's colorful watercolor of fruit, embellished with a nostalgic note about her own earlier life. This is a touching and uplifting piece of mail-art, Judith, and I thank you very much!

It has a great feel as well as look. I was wondering, because it feels indestructible yet has delicate things going on, a great combo.

Comment by Marie Wintzer on September 7, 2011 at 11:42pm: Stunning! I love the thick paper, and the door....

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on September 5, 2011 at 7:43pm: You too, Judith. I have now been outside--to check the mail, forgetting it is Labor Day. Holidays are inconvenient when you're involved in mail-art. I'm enjoying your card--might just hang it by the door!--and will send you something soon too.
