Dear Dan,

I am trying to get as much of my work done as possible that needs my full 
concentration (that includes three calligraphy pieces for the Perth Royal 
Show) as the Commonweatlth Games start in Manchester, England tomorrow 
and as I am an avid Gymnastic, Swimming, etc fan, I will be glued to the 
TV!

Cheers,
Jan

"....In making woodblock prints how far can we go with mixed media?"

I am pretty flex regarding what is considered a woodblock, but I would
think it should incorporate a major
part of the print using the woodblock technique.  Another issue is the
making of an edition. I think in the past
we have qualified exchange prints as woodblocks (wood engravings and lino
also) and part of an "edition".
You could not send in 31 assorted prints to exchange. Some people like to
print a key block and hand-paint the
 color areas.  I think that is very much a valid technique.  Some mixed
media techniques do not apply themselves
to making a consistent edition, others do.........me thinks is up to the
individual to use common sense.

"Geocaching..."

Hi Gayle, how's the Geuga Park exhibit going ? Any updates ? Did the
censors burned any of the prints ?
This geocaching looks like fun, after visiting the site I found a few
cache's  hidden in my very neck of the woods,
literally,  a small recreational lagoon nearby that I visit with the kids.
Sounds like fun...I think people doing this
may appreciate finding a woodblock print that they can take home....

Quiet ???

Very!!!!  People are busy, I guess! Is that time of the year when vacations
are the norm, people gearing up for the
start of a new school year, etc, etc.... I think Maria is on a cross
country car trip with family...,Gayle, Barbara & Dan
I think are tending to their Baren exhibits....me ? I am just trying to
survive the hot weather in the midwest.........

 I just took the plunge and bought a relatively inexpensive tent to try
the local art festival scene.  I'm not planning to join the major
leagues, like Maria, but just wet my feet a bit. Now to come up with an
affordable display set-up that I can build myself with limited tools and
very limited carpentry skills.  Any suggestions are welcome off-line.  :
)    Also have a receoption tonight at a nearby library with an exhibit
shared with my  best friend and neighbor artist.  Life is good!

WOW, Lynita, you've been busy (or are about to be!)...  Haven't any booth 
skills myself, so only wishing you good luck and congratulations!

I have completed the prints with the oak block which printed very 
pronounced wood grain -- if you'd like a peek you can click 
http://www.mlyon.com/baren/grain.htm and be a little patient, as I switched 
several of the images to transparent gifs and they're a bit larger than I'd 
like...  I agree: life is good, the stock market is bad, and my print is 
nicer without the wood grain <sigh>...

I haven't received any fireman prints, so maybe Sarah has mine. -

It is quiet...I got a horrible virus so am sorry it went out to my whole
list..I just paid a nice computer guy $380 to fix it and to put in a
removable hard drive so I can be sure I won't lose my stuff if the computer
crashes..so about half and half as far as money goes. My computer froze
right up and it was very scary.
We are all out enjoying the summer and having company....more talk in the
fall, Dan!
Best to all and I am really sorry about that virus,
Barbara
PS I don't want to hear one word from you MAC people.....

Dan, this happens every year just about this time.  Vacations and summer 
days have us captured.  However, we did go to the Cleveland Museum of 
Art last night, and along with a jazz concert in the courtyard, we saw 
the Blanche Lazzell exhibit.  She was one of the Provincetown white line 
woodcut artists, and now I'm going in to the Baren website to find all 
the material we have on the Provincetown style.  I believe it was Jeanne 
Norman Chase who wrote about it.  Lazzell's boards were beautiful 
themselves.  I would be willing to try this style, not just to make 
prints, but to have the beautiful painted boards which are an end in 
themselves.  I did buy the hardbound catalog to add to my collection of  
books on woodcuts, as there is much in it  to admire and to study.
