David-san, Card#05 is not a wood engraving, it is a woodcut and letters were printed by "Print Gocco".

I, for two (since John A. has already replied), would be honored. I would be honored as well. A superb opportunity! Thanks Gregory!

What other styles are there and what are their qualities? han is the japanese word for print, ga for picture. when David is speaking of hanga style he talks about the traditional japanese mokuhanga "woodprintpicture". Style, pigments and material define the work as beeing a HANGA. But the field is wide and I consider my work as beeing a mokuhanga even when David and some other members of baren might disagree. michael ------------------------------ From: "Bea Gold" Date: Sun, 2 Jan 2000 17:37:50 -0800 Subject: [Baren 7441] Kampala show Any rules for deciding which prints you choose to enter into the exhibit, Gregory? I would enjoy being included - so far it feels like vicarious travelwith all the shows! - Hey - for anyone who read my message about the Hollywood sign and our electricity - it was lighted and looked like a European Light show! And Jean, NYC,was beautiful and calm and so were Paris and Egypt and Wash DC and all - what a nice transition! Happy 2000, Bea ------------------------------ From: Bella1yopp@aol.com Date: Sun, 2 Jan 2000 22:12:43 EST Subject: [Baren 7442] Re: Exchange #3 I too, received my wonderful set of Baren prints. I received them an hour before leaving Tucson for my New Year's trip to Mexico. I quickly got a peek at them before finishing my packing. Tonight I will sit with a cup of tea and take more time with my new prints. Thank you!! Barbara and Wanda, I noticed that postage was $6 and I only sent you $3.20. I will send a check for $2.80 since I don't want you to be "out" any money. Please email me if there were any additional costs. I just didn't consider the weight of everyone else's paper! - -Amanda ------------------------------ From: Graham Scholes Date: Sun, 2 Jan 2000 21:04:31 -0800 Subject: [Baren 7443] Re: What is hanga? >What is hanga?

I thought the theme could be addressed by a scene of 10 people standing on a lakeshore and their images reflected in the water in front of them. The people themselves would be black and white but the reflections would be colored. Something to imply that externally they appear much the same but internally there are vast differences. Ah well... it was a good idea and I had to share it even if I was too late to join in the fun this time. This list is generating so much volume its hard for me to keep up! I find that I have to read in spurts every third or fourth day and then feel too far behind to add to the discussions. As a result I've become a lurker. Anyhow, thought I'd surface long enough for a quick comment :-) - Brian - ------------------------------ From: David Bull Date: Mon, 03 Jan 2000 21:09:52 +0900 Subject: [Baren 7446] Making a baron ... Could somebody please maybe help this guy out with some info on making a 'baron' ... I'm a little bit snowed under right now ... Thanx in advance ... Dave *** "I found your webpage on woodblock printing very interesting and would like to try some of my own. Your articles certainly provide enough information to begin. However, I live in a fairly remote area of California. I was wondering if you could describe the chisels and the baron in detail. I have a full metal and wood shop at my disposal to reproduce them, I would just have trouble buying them. "Thank you for your time, I will keep in touch as I progress. Sincerely, Neal Tessier *** ... and another one ... *** "I am looking for information on Stephan Martin, woodcut Artist from Roosevelt, NJ'. I have several of his works and am trying to establish their value. Do you have any info on him?" JennyJlc428@cs.com *** ... and another one ... *** "I am interested in the scope and value of Tamami Shima's woodblock print work. Do you have any information on her work? I believe she features whimsical creatures in her prints."
