extender dilutes the pigments thus creating transparencys   depending on the 
extender used it is the same material that the pigment is mixed in.    The 
more you use the more transparent the effect.    You may need to add a dryer 
such as colbalt dryer.    with the use of a rain bow roll or split fountain 
you can get the effect of a wash or fade in your print.

Mike, I like your tiles too! I've been thinking about tiles myself. Penrose
tiles are pretty cool.

On my return, I was happy to find that here is still much left here in New
York. I was away in California visiting my parents Sept. 11 when the big
bang came down. Terrible to watch from so far away, though it was probably
worse from close up! The city is still quite distracted, with bridges and
tunnels closed or restricted, and subways re-routed or stopped. You still
need ID to enter a big chunk of downtown, but it is hard to realize the
enormity of it because so much of the city remains intact.

Artists seem to be either numbed or stimulated into much activity. I (numb)
was happy to help a friend (active) make some anti-war silkscreen posters.
"OUR GRIEF IS NOT A CRY FOR WAR" seemed like a good sentiment. You can get
stickers on line at http://www.freespeech.org/fsitv/html/stickers.html

I am thinking about what sort of prints I will be making when my spirits
rebound, any day now. Meantime, I master-printed for the Monothon fund
raiser at Connecticut GraphicArts this week, a worthy cause, and fun to hang
out with printmakers. I drove out with Susan Rostow, and we printed some
nice monoprints with her Akua-Color.

Still kicking in NY,

   i was so glad to read this statement    i know many other artists that 
handle things like this by working through them with their art   ive often 
wished i was one of them but alas im not    i dont think id call it numbness  
 for me the emotions are all on the surface right now and i need time and 
maybe distance for them to gel into something coherent  and hopefully 
powerful   maybe i can be part of a "second contigent" to johns benefit 
show????
   glad you and yours are ok april
god bless us all

Subject: [Baren 15800] Re: benefit 

I was wondering about having some of the firemen Benefit prints put up in our 
Irvington Library, 40 minutes up the Hudson River from the WTC and just came 
back from exploring the idea with the Library Director before presenting  the 
idea to you.  I thought maybe we could use  push pins and found out the walls 
of the  front Display room are well set up for exactly that.
The Library is in a historic building, busy and well utilized.  Community 
would be very receptive.  Library director  thinks it is a good "can do" 
idea.  Time is available, details can be arranged.

Should this  be followed up?
