Thanks very much Graham and Maria and April for all the helpful suggestions.
I tried printing my clay print (bisqued and then sealed with acrylic medium)
with tempera paint to see if it was suitable for kids.  I had to roll up the
tempera on a piece of wood in order for the brayer to actually roll.  I
printed it on plain old card stock which had been dampened.  It worked
pretty well, though I did not get crisp edges.

Marilynn, I really wish you would send in your prints to the print exchange!
I know that many people are looking forward to getting them, me included.
We are not wood snobs.  I love to use linoleum and I always use it if I am
too stressed to deal with wood.  I just think about the Picasso linocut of
the lamp and I always wonder if I have a lamp in me somewhere.

Somerset Studio

Heather and Kim,

It is in the new Gallery Edition Volume 11 (that's 2) !

It costs us $45 Australian.($12.95 in the US)  The usual issues cost us 
about $25 Aust.

Some of the back editions are really worthwhile getting as Kim said.

Subject: [Baren 16350] editioning question 

Hi folks,

I'm under the impression that slight modifications of an
edition (say different colors) are tracked at different states.
I have a question about using different paper, that is, if
you print some amount of prints on one color paper (bright
white) and then another amount on a cream colored paper,
do you have one edition or one edition, two states or
some other descriptive?

Thanks in advance for the advice.

Frank,
You have one edition, with varied papers. Because you did not change the
plate or the color of the ink or the type of ink or the way you rolled or
wiped it on. It is always good to write on the back of the print any changes
in the editions, say 10 prints on BFK and 10 prints on Arches Cover or
whatever.

Hi Wanda.

Re recent posting about attachments that may have viruses.

May I recommend that the list server be set up to strip any
attachments from Baren posts.
This is a function that can be set up by the ISP and is automatic  function.
I think that Dave would have to initiate the change.

Members can send them privately if they wish.

This might save you a lot of proofing and foot work.

Hi Frank,

I think more information would be necessary in order to make a call.

I will assume...(lord knows one should never do that) that the first 
printing was/is on bright white paper and to be the first set of 
prints.  Then you decide to change the colour of the paper and you 
wonder what to call it.
Barbara made a good suggestion about dialogue on the back of the 
prints and or a separate print out with the explanation that can be 
put on the back of the print (acid free paper) or stuck to the 
backing board of the mounted print. This would show on the back of 
the framed print.

But what to call it....
I would suggest that if the edition size of each colour paper was the 
same then State l and State ll would be the most appropriate. 
However, it you have only done a few of the second coloured paper 
then  Edition Veri=E8r is appropriate.  V/E is written in one corner 
where the number would normally appear.

I just finished a drypoint and after doing the edition of 7 prints 
wanted to experiment with the plate and got 3 pieces that survived 
and these are labeled.  V/E  My plate is still capable of more prints 
and someday I may very well start experimenting again and incorporate 
a woodblock introducing colour with the copper drypoint delicate 
lines.

Trust this helps.

Graham
