Hi Jan,

You sound like me all right. Except that I haven't moved into
caligraphy...yet. ;-> I've started to work my way thru the Exchange
galleries and I'm so impressed with the work here.

OT: I have an 8-harness table loom and assorted smaller looms, like inkles,
TW, sprang, tapestry and what-not. I still teach the ocassional workshop at
the local weaving shop, but as I say, I'm on hiatus now. Printmaking is
just too seductive.

I may try and get in the next Exchange so I can get my feet wet. It sounds
like the current one is filling up.

Which Exchanges have your work in them so I can go look them up? 8-]

Hi Jan & Ellen,

A really easy way to see someone's art work on the web is to go to
Google & do an "images" search. Just
click on "images" and then type in the person's name. You'll get pages
of images which lead to pages of
web sites - and on & on!

First time poster here, with a question about editioning w/a register
frame. Here is a link w/ photos to clarify my question: http://
homepage.mac.com/charlescoates/PhotoAlbum5.html

I'm not quite sure how I am supposed to place the paper within the
register before/after printing. As of now, the unprinted paper for
the edition hangs over and behind the block guides. I pull the paper
over and onto the inked block, print, then lift the paper back up and
drop it so it hangs between the frame and the block guides. I have a
few concerns, however. It is extremely hard to pull the paper through
the frame and the block guides after printing without the inked paper
rubbing against the lower edge of the frame. Also, I'm not sure if
editioning using this frame is safe- will the hanging sheets stick
together when w/ the wet ink? Thanks for all your help, I've also
included a link to my prints (only two are woodcut, getting into it
more often, now!). Thank you!

Charles,
Generally you would print one sheet at a time, changing the blocks, then remove that paper and start over. I have never seen anyone try to print lots of sheets at once like this, so think that is the problem. You might try a different registration system, see http://www.mariarango.com/Studionotes/registration/resgister1.html
for a few more ideas. Welcome to Baren...nice work.
Best to you,
Barbara
