Good for you Dave!  Now how about it - when can we sign up for #4 - self
portraits?  What fun.  Bea

Just received my Exchange #2 packet.  "wow".  I feel lucky to have found 
this group and even more lucky to have participated in an exchange with 
a few of the members.  Will have more comments later, when Dave has the 
images online.

Bea, thanks for the dampening tip.  The last thing I would have done 
would be to put the paper in the freezer (!).

Sorry, Dave.  I was certain you had explained this thoroughly in the 
past.  Sometimes I get overwhelmed with the vast amount of info on the 
woodblock website and I need _direction_. :)
Thanks for explaining "kento", "kagi" and "hikitsuki" again, too.  

Hanga is like another world to me sometimes.

I was wondering,  is this a private art museum or public.
I was looking for a web site but couldn't find one.

Can you elaborate or send a url of their site.
Do we get to see an image?

Thanks

Graham

The sign-up sheet for Exchange #4 is already up and running at:

http://woodblock.com/forum/exchange_sign-up.html

But please note - the general policy on these exchanges is that members
who _weren't_ in the immediately previous exchange get first crack at
sign-up.  So the period from August 10 to August 24 is 'reserved' for
those people.  General sign-up starts on the 24th.

Don't panic though, thinking that you will not have a place.  Almost
certainly, it will not be anywhere near 'filled up' during the advance
period, and there will be lots of room for all who wish to participate.

(I've already received a couple of registrations from #3 participants,
and will simply 'hold' those here until the 24th, and then put them on
the list.)

Subject: [Baren 5227] Meeting Matt 

On Sunday I had the great pleasure to meet fellow Baren member, Matt
Brown, at the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen Fair at Sunapee, NH.  I
was so excited to see him among so many beautiful prints that I could
barely get out the words to introduce myself. Matt was in a
demonstration tent, sitting at his very Japanese printing table,
printing a small landscape.  His hanga were soft and gentle, displayed
in beautifully handcrafted wooden frames. My husband and I couldn't
believe that his Japanese methods are self-taught---there's hope for us
all!
I could have stayed and talked for days, but his fans and my family were
getting restless so we made arrangements to meet again and parted.

Thank you, Dave, for bringing us all together!
