I assume that in a print competition, all >details of the printing process would be judged, not just the subject, >concept etc? To what extent is creased paper frowned upon? Any comments? If in No 1 the creases are not in the actual print area, are you able to wet the paper in that area or all over - you didn't mention oil or waterbased - and iron the paper and print carefully or put it between clean paper and weigh it down for a day or so (watch for mould)? I'd try this and go for No 1 Jan ------------------------------ From: Kat Date: Mon, 19 May 2003 09:17:57 -0700 Subject: [Baren 21543] Possible Calendar drop-out Dear [Baren]--Julio and Maria, in particular please... Due to being physically/financially crippled by events that have recently taken place in my life ( http://www.livejournal.com/users/milkyscarabs/134622.html ) , I may need to drop out of the Calendar project. I am uncertain whether I will be able to endure the rigors of producing a sizable edition in the coming months, so I am just pre-warning you that I may need to cancel my participation in this project. Julio, please flag my name as probationary for the time being, and I will try to keep you updated off-list as best I can. Maria, I am still planning on contributing to the Puzzle project, thanks to the fact that you will be generously providing most of the elbow grease for it. :) For now, I'm still a medical mystery, and the E.R. visits could easily repeat themselves a third and fourth (...etc...) time as far as I can tell. Thank you for your understanding, and I'd sincerely appreciate any good vibes anyone would like to send my way. - -- Love <3 & Lint * !

David writes re the Summit: "...I should perhaps mention what I have in mind for my 'corner' at the Summit sessions.' Dave, I think a good first task would be to have a repeat-after-me class and teach everyone the proper pronounciation of the word 'baren' Julio {;-) ------------------------------ From: Aqua4tis#aol.com Date: Mon, 19 May 2003 14:48:52 EDT Subject: [Baren 21545] Re: Possible Calendar drop-out kat im so sorry that youre having to go through all of this and i will light a candle for you georga ------------------------------ From: Sharri LaPierre Date: Mon, 19 May 2003 11:51:29 -0700 Subject: [Baren 21546] Re: Baren Digest V23 #2227 Julieanne, My advise would be to send the strongest image. While overall printing ability is a criteria, if the image is strong enough, a few creases at the side will be overlooked. I assume you have tried to minimize or remove the creases?

I had never seen Escher's earlier works either. It certainly is interesting to see the evolution of his prints. Barbara P. > Ran across this by accident, well worth a look.

Just now I met with Craig Hartley, Curator of Prints and drawings, the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, and I told him about Baren. He already knew and was happy to learn that we are meeting for the first time next month. Marilynn, recognition in KS airport with American flag is fine. Looking forward...!!!
