Gayle: First I clean the glass with a solvent. Then when it's still sort
of wet and still has some ink left on the glass but not alot,  I put on
some mag or talc (about a tablespoon or two- depending how big the glass
is and how much there is to clean up) and a splash of water on top of
the mag. So it's the same time for the mag and water.  Then everything
should get picked up together with a rag or paper towel. I hope I've
explained it clearly and it works for you. Let me know.

Dear members of Baren Group
Let me introduce myself:
My name is Horacio and I'm from Rio de Janeiro / Brazil.
That's my first participation on that forum but I've been watching you
and enjoying very much your dialogue about abstract art, cleaning and
sharpening tools, exhibitions, etc.
I'm an university teacher and  printmaker in spare hours. A sample of my
woodcuts and linocuts can be seen at:
<http://www.analisevital.com.br/xilograv.htm> .

Critiques (goods or bads), comments and suggestions about the prints
will be welcome.
Please, forgive my bad English (in Brazil we speak Portuguese)

Horacio

Andrea,
Thanks for going in with the Mahattan Exchange Show.  I could try to
contact Ray Esposito.  He'll probably say no, but what the heck.  Surely
David and Graham will go along with it.  We only need five more.

Welcome Horacio.

Very interesting work indeed.  The linocut print "Trip" is very well
executed. You captured the moment of those rush hour 'pack them in like
sardines' bus trips.

It would be interesting to know the size of your prints.

Graham

Oh, and there is nothing wrong with your English.

Jeanne, would the book be "Relief Printmaking" by Colin Walklin? I have a copy
of it, it's a new book and has lots of good stuff in it. I am in the
same boat you are, Jeanne, feeling like a little kid trying to eat with
a knife and fork instead of the spoon or my fingers. I think we just
have to persist!

Judy, regarding the Manhattan show, you might want to try to contact some
of the exchange members no longer with Baren. Bill Ritchie and Ray Esposito 
come to mind. Dave might be able to help you with any others that might have 
parted from the Forum.

Thanks for all your efforts.....

JULIO

Ps... Welcome to the Baren group Horacio!

Wanda
On my way home this eve, I will stop at Barnes Noble and order the book by
Walklin. The Barnes Noble store in Sarasota has all of two books on
printmaking.
I was in seventh heaven two weeks ago in the Boston Museum. I actually had
several printmaking books sent to the studio. They are at home now so cannot
remember the exact titles, but one was on Japanese printmaking, a book on
Mary Cassatts prints and three others that I did not want to carry home in
my suitcase.
Just pulled 35 prints for the next exchange and on looking at them , I have
my doubts. Sooooo, I will be starting a new one tomorrow.

Welcome to Baren Horacio. Really liked your prints, especially the Self
Portrait and Untitled (with the horse). Your English is just fine!!!!

I derived lots of info on the cleanup , thanks everyone for contributing.

I love this Group!!!

Jeanne

PS. Well, we are almost there, for the Manhattan Show. If Ray and Bill will
jump in , perhaps it will be a go.

Horacio,
Welcome to the Baren. I liked your work very much, there is so much energy
in the marks. Your are a great printmaker. Don't worry about your English,
it is a lot better than my Portugeese.

Subject: [Baren 4422] new waterbased inks

I went to a demonstration this weekend by the Green Drop Ink Company (as
part of the Maryland Printmakers spring meeting). They make water based
inks for all printmaking techniques. It was quite interesting, and several
artists who already use their inks are very pleased. It seems rather
expensive to just try out as an experiment, but if anyone is interested,
their website address is: http://206.216.201.175.

Welcome Horatio,

favorite.  Very stong, nice line.
