Subject: [Baren 11901] Compulsivity 

Dear Kat,

Yes indeed, hanga makes it easy to print a lot of announcements in color. I
printed 150 four color 5 x 6" prints in 4 hours. Of course after a LOT of
preparation, cutting and dampening paper, choosing colors, setting up. But
once you are set it is easy to do many prints. When I do a small one, I cut
several colors on one large block, one color in each corner. That way it
doesn't slip around. The thing to remember is to be sure the kento for each
color is at the front of the block as you print so you don't have to reach
over.

Also with a small print you sometimes want a weaker baren, your ball
bearing one may be too strong for a small print, it could smash the paper
fibers, so be sure the paper doesn't get too wet, and don't press too hard.

And yes, my Frog print for Frogman's is a 2 block reduction cut. It is a
great way to get lots of detailed carving all lined up perfectly. if you
use good paper you can keep overlaying color 20 times or more. The only
drawback is that you have to decide how big your edition is before you
start. And you have to work very freely, trusting yourself. Both can be an
advantage in a medium that encourages compusivity!

ciao for now,

April

Barbara,
Please give my condolences to the family of Gordon Gilkey.  Although I did
not know him personally, he was well-respected among printmakers in the Bay
Area.

Subject: [Baren 11905] Beit Gavriel Exhibition

Hello -

Most of the preliminaries are behind us:
Framing&matting is done (cost - 67  prints - :=20
about $ 435.-).
The name of the exhibition: "Woodcut prints.com"=20
(the words 'Woodcut prints' in Hebrew). I wanted to
emphasis the contact of the exhibition to the
virtual world.
In another e-mail i will send a BMP image of the
exhibition's Hebrew name.
Opening will be on the 20th November. No formal
opening. The duration will be about one month.
I asked Julio for advise on how to take care of sales -=20
if there will be any demands (hope!).
I will e-mail a map of the part of the country where
this exhibition will be held. I will include some
pictures of the place itself (i don't have a digital
camera).
Hope every thing is covered!? Is it?=20

Wow Arye, how wonderful! Thank you for your efforts for making this exhibit
a reality. I want to emphasize that this type of herculean (and volunteer)
effort on the part of our members is what makes this forum/group the
absolute best in the web. This will be our fourth exhibit as a group,
correct? NY, Skokie, Kampala, and now Israel. Was there a Tokyo exhibit as
well in the early Baren days?
Thanks again from all of Baren.
Maria

PS  Any pictures you want scanned, just send them on to me and consider it
done. We can then upload on the woodblock site. I wish I could just hop on
the private jet and take some photos myself, but all we have out back is an
old burro.

Dear Baren, 
    I am looking for printmakers who do fine art prints on-non traditional 
subsrtates or objects for inclusion in our exhibitions. If you would like to 
submit for this exhibition opportunity, please contact me, offline (See 
below).

Dragon and Snake Postcard artists, 
With your permission, I would like to display the dragon postcard prints and 
snake prints at Stonemetal Press in January. It will be the inaugural exhibit 
for Stonemetal Press' tenth anniversary year. I will display my set as not 
for sale, unless printmakers who have additional postcards on these themes 
would send them for sale, priced.
Stonemetal keeps 30% of sales price, so price with that in mind. 

Yours, 
Le Green
