Barbara, have you photos of the show?

Sarah, Science is by subscription only, you can see a little pic of the
cover at

The fugu's genome is important because it contains no non-coding DNA, which
provides an important comparison to human DNA, which is full of junk.

April, I will get some pictures of the show at the NWPC to post on show and
tell.

Congratulations on your cover, you desereve the accolades as your work is
wonderful! I love the fish I have, although different than this one! What a
great boost for woodblock! How did they ever know of this print? That would
be a story in itself. I'll bet it is a series of accidental things as most
opportunities seem to be sort of being in the right place at the right time.
best to you,
Barbara

Sarah,
Your print looks great! I'm sorry I wasn't able to get down there to see 
it  'in person' ('in print'?)

Thanks Gayle and April for answering 
what a two color block is...
 but  I don't now what a  "bokashi"  area is. 
Do I have to look at Baren  Enciclopedia???
Anyway, I hope to see it "in person"  next year 
in KC.
Thanks everybody.
LOVE,

Oh How I Love to Work Magic With Color!  I like to over print black with
bright red, blue or purple.  The result is a deep RICH black.  Also since I
like to print cut marks for energy or effect a bit of the non-black color
sometimes shows here and there and creates more energy.  ~ Patti Phare-Camp

In addition to the wonderful mixtures mentioned...
another way to get rich and exciting blacks is to mix black ink with deep
red, purple, green, blue, umber, and a big et-cetera. The resulting "blacks"
are still as rich and deep as the purest blackest blacks, but with an added
kick. I try them with the array of blacks available.  Also, printing on
tan/buff paper, just as one example, with a purple/black or red/black makes
the print much more alive. For even more daring effects, also explore the
pearl, black pearl, gold, silver and graphite pigment additives carried by
Graphic Chemical. Exciting stuff, barely noticeable, yet gives the printed
areas a mysterious sheen.

"And the best book on color and PIGMENTS is: Wilcox, Michael, The Artist's
Guide to Selecting Colours, Colour School Publications, London 1997. He
gives many helpful suggestions about mixing colors AND lots of information
about specific pigments."

Check out this review of Michael Wilcox's tests of pigments.

The best books on color were written by the Bauhaus artists and color
theorists.  Read books by Joseph Albers, Johannes Itten, Albert Munsell, and
Faber Birren if you want to learn about color.  Albers Color Star is a great
tool for choosing color combinations.

I believe the Albers color star is the starting point for Quiller's color 
wheel. I have not seen the Wilcox books, but I have a reserve on them from 
the library. From the review, they sure do not sound nearly as good as 
Quiller. But to each her/his own. Of course, in the end experience is the 
best teacher. But we all have to rely on the experience of others ... we 
will not live long enough to discover everything ourselves. I figure the 
more accurate information I can get from others, the easier it will be for 
me. Anybody else got a good color book they want to suggest?

Cheers ...... Charles
