Subject: [Baren 12298] Challenges and Options 

Dear Naiomi,

"Establishing a Baby-Safe Studio by Julia Ayres", Watercolor Magazine,
probably October 2000, I don't have the cover, just tear sheets. Useful
sites listed in the article are http://www.waterbasedinks.com (that's Akua
Color) and http://communiites.msn.com/printmakinglinks (that is Julia Ayres
who wrote the article).

What I like about hanga woodcut is that it is non-toxic AND traditional
with a long history, a challenge to learn and lots of options. Monoprint is
great, but sort of mushy...no clear definitions or precedents. I like the
specificity of working in a traditional form, more rules to play with.

>April; could you please let me know the issue of
>Watercolor Magazine in which your hanga woodcut print
>appears?  I'm very much interested in water-based
>printmaking.

>Until now I've  been a wordless member

Regarding the Chinese seal or chop:  the Chinese Culture Center of San
Francisco is located in the heart of
tourist Chinatown there.  They probably get many inquiries about this kind
of thing.  They might even sell them there. Their URL is
http://www.c-c-c.org/  Carol, you have a very large Chinatown in New York.
Can't you get chops there?

Sounds very creative.... and that's, as we all know, is MY most 
important aspect of what and why we do it
Your work is most interesting and conjurers up much thought....

A little correction
Your URL  is wrong....
Should read  http://www.beagold.com/
NOTE the period between www & beagold

the http:// in front enables us lazy guys to double click and go there......

Thank you so much for your vote of confidence...
We truly appreciate your feedback.
Marco just wrote to say he wanted to be back for the third time.

Marnie and I will be here for as long as the energy is willing.

Sincerely,

Hi there:

    With so much interest in chops out there, how 'bout The Baren Council
designing a chop for members that have taken part in at least one of the
Baren exchanges?  This might be an incentive for some to participate and/or
those who choose to use it, a badge of honour, if you will.
