I missed some discussions, but I know that one can size using spray starch when making hand made paper, on the damp, drying, paper. Anyone interested in the fundraiser Day of the Dead show for StoneMetal Press, send me a request. Also, If anyone can send a donation, or join as an artist member, please consider helping now. I know things are hard everywhere, but San Antonio is pretty poor in the best of times. Everyone in my personal circle is unemployed. I am on unpaid leave of absence, which leaves me without any more money to donate. The paper is running storys on nonprofits going down... and in spite of everything else going great, StoneMetal Press has not been able to generate the cash to keep the doors open in the last three months. Without income, Kathleen and I have given from our savings, and have nothing left. Cash flow always improves in October, and Kathleen and I usually take care of August and Sept shortfalls but we can't cover them now. We have gotten alot of inkind donations, and gallery sales are starting to imrpove, but grants are being "put on Hold" as the city considers defunding, and donations have been down as operating costs gone up. We are, by the way, a 501c3. Thanks, Le Green Schubert StoneMetal Press 1420 S.
