Hi Ray
I didn't see the paper used by Hideshi. But Gampi is very thin. Paper Nao is
probably arranging for it to be applied to another washi as a base. You can
do this in your press with methyl cellulose, or by carefully gluing with
damp rice paste on an unsized but damp base washi which is glued around the
opposite side edges to a board and allowed to dry and therefore shrink like
a drum to a perfeclty flat piece. This is "Uraouchiu" in Japanese

Hello Ray et al,
I just looked at my Daniel Smith Catalogue which lists two gampi papers in
cream and white at $9.89/ sheet in 1-24 lots,etc.. I might add that you
could substitute the daphne paper from Nepal at $3.97/sheet to achive a
similar result.

So, Graham, who is Noboru Sawai?

He is my teacher so to speak. Over the past 7 years we have become friends
and he is my source of info when I get stuck on something that I need to
know.   Since the baren this has been fewer and fewer times.  So mostly now
we talk about computers......he is thinking of upgrading...or shows and
exhibitions and, well, many things.   He took his training (6 years) form
Toshi Yoshida in Japan. He has live in the Americas for 35 years.  Mostly
in Calgary as a teacher at U of Calgary. Retired to Vancouver,  and doing
his work and having shows.  One in Japan this Spring ...may be there
now...and then this summer in Spain.  He is known for erotica in a
combination of coloured woodblock and etching.

Regards,

Graham

>Sorry I didn't get an answer to you in time. 

Certainly no need to apologize! I've told Dave before, I feel like Baren is
the FREE Graduate Art School I never had. I appreciate every word I read,
believe me.

While ago some were interested in web-sites (at the bar), but I thought I'd
post this here for everyone. I found: www.tophosts.com/top15/1.5shtml
should meet everyone's needs that doesn't currently have a site.

Good health to all,
Maria

Dave,
Thanks for answering my query about where the slide show was on your web
site.  However, I did not see my letter posted in Baren.  Perhaps you can
tell me which issue of Baren it was in?  I've had trouble with Happy99 also
and went to a lot of trouble to delete it because I foolishly opened it.

In that post I also suggested using the kento registration method with press
printing...a good marriage of eastern and western techniques.  It eliminates
all the elaborate taping and afixing of mat board, etc.  It makes your
printmaking multicultural!  Anyway, it's worth a try!
Jean Eger
