Dave 
        I was interested in the proses using gampi.  In book restoration we use
a paper that is just called repair tissue, its Japanese and has very long
fibers so it is strong and when used to repair a torn page it is invisible.  It
is 8 gsm dose this sound like it's the same thing as gampi.

Graham, I think a lot of us would really like to have
you be in Exchange #4.  This seems like an important
exchange where we will be revealing ourselves to 
each other in our unique ways (plastic raincoat 
aside--wait, that didn't come out right;  I meant
despite the raincoat jokes, we'd like to see your
view of you).

My mail is fine and dandy. I did upgrade my
computerandit'ssomuchfasternow, can you tell? And upgrading is so much
fun...I will save my stories so Graham doesn't make fun of my PC.
Speaking for Vegas only, Sprint (cabling/phone company) had a line down
all weekend so some network stuff got delayed; perhaps lost in the
nebula forever more.
I have one alternate for Exchange #4, Sylvia Taylor has gracefully
accepted the task. I have asked someone else to fill in and will keep
everyone updated. Apologies about the slight irritation in my last post.

As for a general comment in the Exchanges, I think the way Dave has
cleverly set the system of signing up, anyone can participate once a
year or once every six years or every time. It's a good system.
Julio, Julio, Julio, you had me going for only a second, very funny. We
are of course talking about the 8'x4' exchange, the designed plywood is
being delivered to your house tomorrow and I expect it carved and ready
to print next week. And don't miss a line!
Health to all,
Maria

A few thousand e-mails back, there was some discussion of the sizing for the 
prints for the exchange.  All of the posts I saw seemed to be in favor of the 
smaller sized prints.  I would like to at least go on record as saying that I 
generally prefer to work larger, so the small prints are more of a challenge 
for me.  Not that I mind that, of course, but I vote for continuing to vary 
the size of each exchange.

And just to be obnoxious, I would like to point out that I finished my prints 
for exchange #4 today.
