Ah ha!  Southern Graphics Conference!  I am participating in one of the 
"eleven new print portfolios" mentioned above, to be displayed and 
archived.  Here is a link to the specifics of the different conference 
theme portfolios this year: 
http://www.bu.edu/cfa/events/printconferenceSGC/index.html
I'm in the "Dog Head Stew" portfolio, organized by Elizabeth Hanneman, 
West Virginia University, Smiling Pig Metal Arts.  

I wrote her an email just recently, volunteering to publish the 25 large 
prints from "Dog Head Stew" on my website for Internet-goers to see... 
She accepted my offer, so I'll having fun and keeping busy!  I'll be 
certain to post the url on the mailing list once I've uploaded the 
little showing. :)

Subject: [Baren 20676] Got sheep/goats and Calendars 

More sheep/goats have ambled in and are all are wonderful to behold. Thank
you Sharri, Julio, Maria!!!, Lisa,Kim Shields,Lezle,Williams,and Michell
Morrell. I have sent off half of my Ram cards and will get the rest out next
week ('God willin and the  creeks don't rise)

Julio, I would like to be included in the Calendar project. I like the idea
of preprinted calendars which could be attached (hinged at the top) as
suggested by Patti. Once, in an old life in Oregon, seven of us did a
Calendar, as a fund raiser, for a well-known organization. Because our
individual artwork was not of uniform size, we had to adjust it to the
dimensions of the preprinted page. Although getting that calendar done (yes,
we made a little profit!( was a bit like 'herding cats', the finished
product was well worth the  trouble. I like the idea of helping to raise a
little money for Baren, so think it would be good if we could somehow come
up with a few for sale?


On another note, Julio I am glad your surgery went well. As we get on with
the years I find that one is grateful for a lot of things once took for
granted- like having the health and energy to do the things one wants to do,
such as making prints and spending quality time with family and friends.

Subject: [Baren 20677] calendar 



I think we should not worry about a theme for the calendar, after all, 
by it's nature a calendar is divided into seasons. That would be enough 
of a theme for it. I personally have a lot of trouble when I have to do 
work for a theme. Maybe it is my stuborn nature, not wanting to do what 
I am told!! I do like the idea of a fundraiser, but am unclear how we 
would do it....make extra and sell them at our local art organizations? 
Make extra and buy them ourselves to give as gifts? Any other ideas on 
how we would market these? I would hate to see us go to a bunch of work 
and not be able to sell them. All to often one sees stacks of obsolete 
calendars at a fraction of the original cost...could we design it so we 
could cut off the calendar part and sell it as a portfolio if it was not 
sold as a calendar? Just a thought.....

Back on line      just got home yesterday eve from train trip across America 
& Canada.  Feels great to be back at home.    Glad I was able to meet Maria  
;-)     Security seems much improved at the border.  I found some Japanese 
gouges in San ran, and antique gouges and engraving tools in Quebec City (can 
you have too much steel)?  Got two that are shaped like a round scooper used 
in wood engraving but larger.    As well as a large box of wood type (the 
dogs used in security seemed to take an interest in the box of wood type as 
they left claw marks on the out side.  the sent from wood type must have 
alerted them)

Maria I will be working on you block tomorrow have an idea so it will be OK.  
  

Other question how is the hanga exchange going?????

Was reading a book on Japanese wood cuts on the train which stated that about 
50% of the woodcuts done in Japan were on erotic subject matters.  An example 
would be pillow books, etc.,    hehehe    most of the pictures of women were 
not of house wife's as the sash would be tied in a different manner.         

how about an exchange with the subject of "pillow books"
