NBS's Leftovers Re-Assemble into Memorable Mailart!

Nancy Bell Scott's been at it again--turning ephemera, art-fragments, and clippings into mailart treasure. Several pages and views of this flip-book-style work are here presented for your viewing enjoyment (some commentary by the recipient included, as he was unable to restrain himself...)

Though the main artwork is diverse and enthralling, one of the most intriguing and beautiful things in Nancy's package was the back of her letter, an embellished fragment of a topographical map. Nancy "altered" the landscape with her own distinctive contours... her own river canyons and red-lava lakes:

The flip-book:

Until we sweet again...

The release of this artwork was a red carpet affair, with many famous stars in attendance:

God was on his way to bestow a special blessing on the artwork, but that megalomaniac Adam got in the way...

Admittedly, a little COB... which I LOVE!!

Special stuff from my OOB-er-awesome pal in Maine! Thank you, Nancy! Love how the tidbits speak and tell a kind of story... a mini mailart memoir of your style, projects worked-on, and "papers" that have made your acquaintance through time. WHooo-whee, Huey, Louie, and Dewey!!  Good stuff!
