Subject: [Baren 6435] Exchange #3 

Hello everyone! Those of you waiting until the last minute to do your
exchange #3 print - it's the last minute! I know, I do the same thing.
Some very well organized people already have their prints in Barbara's
very capable hands and we are looking for a flood of prints to arrive
next week. 

We are all looking forward to seeing these prints, so don't delay....

Cut! Print! Mail!

Wanda

A fascinating way to add gold to prints, thanks Dave.
A long time ago, in a land far away, I used to work in an automotive
body-shop supply store. My job was to custom color-match paints for
repair jobs. I learned many things about color mixing, but the reason I
bring this up is that in a body-shop supply store you can buy a variety
of flakes and dust to add to your prints. Among the tiny jars that I
remember were metal flakes of many sizes and colors, gold and silver
being the most popular, mica flakes, obsidian flakes, pearl dust of
several colors including mother of pearl dust, and the ever popular
gold-leaf flakes. Of course when you buy them, you have less control of
both the original product and the size of the flakes. Just a thought.
Health to all,
Maria
