Subject: [Baren 12653] Happy Christmas 

Good Morning All and Happy Day to you.
I know this message goes to many who don't celebrate our American
Christmas, but I am sure they celebrate the wishes of peace and goodwill
that flow with such abandon on this day. Too bad we can't have peace and
goodwill everyday as our first thought!

I was up half the night as usual getting everything done and slept in
until 9:30 this morning, such a sinful thing to do and only allowed
because all our children are grown and no one woke me up after only 3
hours of sleep to open presents.

Dan, congratulations on getting that calendar, I saw it a few months ago
and got one for both Wanda and I. We got ours at Powells.I sure enjoyed
Megan's print, what a sweetie. Almost makes you forgive her for the VCR
doesn't it?

Dave, all of us on Baren are so excited for you, snagging this great
living space. I know you never thought you would get out of that tiny
apartment. Are you still going to wait for the girls to arrive to move?
Or will it be all done when they get there? We wish we could come and
help, a great Baren moving party!!!!

I am going to make a little Christmas bread this morning, full of fruit
and abundance for the New Year. It always seems to start for me the day
after Christmas, boxing day fo our friends in Canada and England. This
seems the true New Year for me, a time to get busy and start on the next
one. And no shopping allowed, no matter how good the sales.

Wishing all of you peace, joy and your heart's desire,
Barbara

Georga,

I happen to add a little 00 burnt plate oil to mine.  The amount varies
with the brand of  ink.

Subject: [Baren 12656] Exchange 7 and What should baren forum be about? charset="iso-8859-1" 

My Exchange #7 prints came in the mail last night.  What a fantastic
Christmas present!  Howard and I sat and looked at them this morning.  He is
so enthusiastic that he wants to enter the "Year of the ?" postcard exchange
next year.  I was wondering what kind of paper Mike Lyons and John Amoss
used for that exchange.  Bea, you really outdid yourself on that print:
seven blocks?  What a beautiful and funny print--the mom accidentally kills
the lizard instead of catching it in the coffee can.  Oh, the terrible
trials and guilt feelings of life.  When we see it in art, we know it
happens to everyone.

The forum should focus on woodcut, but with discussion allowed of all kinds
of relief printmaking.  The high level of discussion is very gratifying to
professional artists.  We should try to encourage creatvity by allowing
freedom of speech.

Merry Christmas day to everyone!
