Subject: [Baren 12600] A wider baren 

Although I enjoy the comments and suggestions and tips regarding various
types of relief prints, I treasure Baren's commitment to woodblock
printing.   This art is so wide, so ancient, so full of possibilities,
so (should I say it here) underappreciated that to broaden Baren to lino
etc. would dilute more than enrich the multitude of postings.   Must say
that whenever some other type of relief print is mentioned I usually
think, "Now how could I apply that to wood?"  Just a thought.   Ray

Hi Carolyn and other Baren Members,

I have found Sintra at commercial sign shops. Many times you can get them to
cut down the scraps from jobs for a nominal fee.

Think it is made of powdered PVC dust. Works well for collographs too.
Because the material is so compact, you may want to experiment with other
than your best carving tools! Or give the electric drilling tools a go as
well. It seemed  more erratic for control as compared with carving white
pine.

Good luck- I agree it has alot of potential!

Happy Holidays to all.

Subject: [Baren 12602] Re: Drier 

I have been gone for a week so I am getting caught up.

I use cobalt drier with no problem but I have also used Tu-way(I think i
got that right, it has been a while since I got a can)  It dries both the
outside and the inside at the same time and won't make the ink or paint
crack. I bought it from Rembrandt in NJ.

I print very thick layers of ink and would really be slowed down if not for
drier.

Subject: [Baren 12603] on lino and other relief forms 

Just read the input...I was wondering if anyone knows of any good sites
(like the Baren forum) that would interest  people who do want to
discuss the other forms of relief printmaking.  More input!
