Subject: [Baren 15711] 9-11 Print Project 

May I suggest that we consider using a miniature size for this special
project??

Using a size of about 4 square inches. Miniature prints make a terrific
impact in their brevity...........ElizA in Maine

I like this idea.  Maybe max size would be 5" x 7"?
I will help as much as possible.
I agree that this should not be an exchange, merely a donation.  If
individual members want to exchange prints, they can do it privately.

Subject: [Baren 15713] Catching up

Just catching up on all of the e mails re; the Great Disaster of 2001.
The heart of all of the Bareners show through the pouring out of thoughts,
poems etc, since the Sept. 11.tragedy.
Lost power because of the tropical storm Gabrielle which left over 50% of
our city without power for four days. Hundreds of beautiful trees were
toppled and the clean up has taken up our time. So our news coverage was
drastically ended until late yesterday.
Just got on the net to read the heartfelt wishes from our members.
Please count me in , in whatever projects anyone dreams up to benefit all of
the victims of the "disaster".
A seperate exchange for the firefighters would be a wonderful tribute. How
we can successfully do this is the question??
Also, hope that this could be a mix of media, beyond woodblock printing.
Although , as Gayle mentioned, it is difficult to find American flags (I
cannot either). That is a good thing now. At least America is  coming
together as we did on Dec 7th, 1942.

hi liz,
i can't figure out this barren crowd...
if they spent as much time in the studio they'd probably be more
productive....
haven't been overly  impressed with much of the work
like your idea
for
small size prints
might be put into a book,
perhaps with some poetry...
i think its too soon
for me to digest
and respond to it all
been there
done it
ww2
ie shima
kamikaze attack
etc....
anaway.....
how do I get off this site
it is overwhelming my computer.....

you mentioned amiga monitor is it for sale??
how much??

Subject: [Baren 15715] renewal 

Howdy Bareners,

I just returned home via an unscheduled long drive from Wichita Kansas. We
flew in on Monday and subsequently were marooned in the heartland. We had
return plane tickets for last week sometime and we all know what happened.
It was also difficult to rent a car on a one-way 1300 mile trip, as many of
the car rental agencies were hoarding their cars locally. In any case, a
minor inconvenience, considering the circumstances.
Interestingly, the drive was somehow cleansing and reassuring that America
is still here and standing strong. Old Glory paved the way, fluttering in
the breeze everywhere we went. Some small towns had so many flags flying
proudly that it seemed like the 4th of July all across the West.
Some gas stations had lowered their gas prices to .99/gallon, aiding those
of us on our quest for home. Every sign-board at every possible location
(gas stations, fast foods, etc) proclaimed "God bless America" or "Honoring
the lost" or something similar. There was a strange and beautiful return to
civility as a way of life, it seemed. Everyone was friendlier and helpful
and twice we received free food after the conversation revealed that we were
trying to return home. The entire trip was heart-warming, touching and
hopeful for yet a better society.

Anyhow, count me in for any print project concerning the renewal of our
peaceful world.
Health to all,
Maria

Hi John, My task on the Baren Council is to be the coordinator of
coordinators -
actually to help with sign-up, selection of a coordinator and support for
the coordinator throughout the exchange procedure.  I am in the process of
revisiting
the Baren rules for exchanges with input from past coordinators.  We will
leave #12 as a regular Baren Exchange and I would like to remind members
that sign-up starts on October 1, 2001 - look at
http://barenforum.org/exchange/index.html
I am more than willing to help you with this print project as well.
The normal process is to open enrollment for an exchange for a period - if
you want it open until you reach 30 - that's fine.
You should have a wait list if you want to keep the # of prints at 30
though - people do drop out for a number of reasons.
There usually is a three month print time with the coordinator checking
periodically to learn if people are on target.  If you don't hear back from
people I suggest you drop them and move on to the wait list.  I believe you
would like to receive the prints when expected.   I suggest that people let
you know when the prints have left home to join up with their fellows.  You
can ask wait list folks to fill in if the prints are not received on time.
Anything else you'd like help with?  I will try.  Bea Gold
