Dear Baren,

I write with a mixture of humility, excitement, and trepidation. Humility
because I'm amazed at the breadth of knowledge here in this forum and the
generosity with which you share it. Excitement because I'm really excited to
learn this stuff - how paper expands, ways to keep the moisture even,
different drying techniques: tech stuff! And trepidation because now I have
to go out and *DO* it.

So I got some illustration board and some blotter paper and went to work and
I'm happy to report that out of 50 prints, I now have only about 5 that
remain wrinkled. It's a miracle! So thank you thank you.

Dear Anna,

You wrote,

>Dear Carol,

As a lurker so far I want to say thank you for your reference to John Amoss
account of his print making process...very helpful to see how he works...>


You are most welcome. It was looking at John Amoss's print that got me
hooked on Baren and gave me the courage to sign up!

You mention going to Center for the Book, do you live in or near San
Francisco? There are four of us Bareners here in Sacramento, and it's always
nice to meet more in person, if they live near enough.
