Dear Bareners,

I got a call yesterday from a friend in Japan. He told me that my work
was selected for the exhibition "100 years of Japanese woodblock print
1904-2004" that was held at the City Museum of Art in Nagoya. He told me
that my work was received well. As a result I got an invitation by a
gallery in Nagoya to have a solo show there.
I had to tell at least you folks about that, as around here almost
nobody can understand what this means to me.

A happy woodblock printer,

michael

Congratulations on your achievements in this joint exhibition in
Philadelphia which is perfect for your work, and also for your Prodigies
series exhibits in Delaware and New York. I too share your excitement!

Share photos with us if you can.

All the best to you,
Bette.

This is to let you all know that Princess Rachid had volunteered to be
the coordinator for LPE III, bless her generous heart! So, we are all
set to go in October 2005. I hope everyone has their blocks carved and
are ready to print, so there will be no deadline-challenged
participants. I, of course, have no clue what I will do, but I'm
confident that the rest of you are not in this boat with me, but
instead, sailing through the production of your contribution. We have
roughly 15 months to do this trick, so SURELY we can manage in that
length of time, doncha think? I'm rootin' for us, guys!

James Mundie - you are amazing. Congrats on all those wonderful shows.
It makes me want to pack up and move to the other coast. Instead, I
will just have to enjoy the links to all the sites you gave us.

Gayle & Marilynn, I'm eager to see the embossing you did. Guess I
will have to take out a sheet of kitakata and see what happens :-)
I'm with Marilynn, those ball bearing barens are something else, again.
I love mine. On my next print I'm going to calendar the paper on my
etching press and then do the whole print with the b/b/baren. On the
prints I did for my recent show I didn't pre-stretch the paper and I
had a horrible time getting it to lay flat after doing a dozen or more
passes and saturating that stuff beyond reason. Maybe I was a little
heavy handed ?? Nahhhhh, not moi - - -

Cheers!
