Subject: [Baren 19997] announcement 

I am so pleased to let all my friends on Baren know that I am a grandmother,
finally!
Julia Marie Mason, 7# 9.6oz was born at 8:23 this evening and because things
have changed since I had children the whole family (about 15 people) was at
the hospital and I got to hold her when she was only one hour old....what a
thrill. She is making a very good impression, no doubt destined to become a
printmaker! My daughter in law had only 3 hours of labor and wants about 5
more......I know she is just in shock and will no doubt come to her senses
in a few weeks!
It gets harder as they grow, as they do not come with instructions. All you
parents out there can identinfy with this! Or maybe I am just getting old
and 6 seems like a lot of kids....no it is a lot!
Best to all,
Barbara

Subject: [Baren 19998] Shipping with Glass from matting discussion 

Glass does break in shipping.  A few of ways to avoid damage are (1) remove
the matted piece from the frame and wrap the glass separately, (2) agree
with the buyer that s/he will provide his/her own glass and ship the piece
without glass, (3) make a big asterisk of strapping tape corner to corner
and edge to edge across the glass.  Even if your shipper succeeds in
breaking the glass, the pieces are less likely to cut into the artwork and
matting.  Any tape will work better than no tape, but strapping tape seems
the easiest to remove.
