Ruth, they are stunning! What a glorious set of prints. (And glorious
subject matter, no?) Can you say more about hand coloring? Do you
print the black in oil-based ink and then paint with tubed
watercolors afterwards? Really beautiful prints.

I, too wish to join the 'Rat Pack' but I think I still owe some
assorted boars and maybe dogs (roosters? monkeys?) My excuse is that
I never have enough
time to hand print a large edition at one go... and in time things
get confused - if anyone desires one of the missing animals please,
please let me know-
there are some unhappy stragglers in the studio waiting to be released.

Very beautiful prints- Ruth Leaf ! makes me want to return to hand
colouring.... April Vollmer -thanks so much for the spectacular tour
of Tallinn and the works on exhibit.
That's a part of the world I'd like to see as one side of family
hailed from neighbouring Riga ...
bw to all

Wheeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwww!!!!

Spent the weekend opening up a hole in my studio to bring in the beautiful
Whelan XPress Pro Press that I just acquired after 4 years of drooling over
a bigger press. It came all assembled and standing up in a great crate with
all these mysterious signs on it indicating it is a delicate instrument. The
FedEx guys were very curious so I had to open it a little and show them the
beauty.

Anyhow, I could have wheeled it into the front door but wanted it to go
directly to the studio, which at the time only had a 30" door. So for three
days we sawed a great big concrete hole to enlarge the current doorway,
wheel the press inside and close up the hole with a new and improved larger
door. All the work made the press seem even more tantalizing and wanted. Not
to "dis" my Thomas press, which now looks like the tiny press that could
sitting beside his big brother.

I'm still caulking doorways and installing new kitty doors and important
things like that, and oh yeah, a festival coming up this weekend in
Scottsdale. So it will be just a little while before I can pull a print or
500 on the awesome machine.
Just had to tell everyone about it, will post pictures once my studio looks
presentable again.
You can see the press at www.whelanpress.com it's the XPress PRo and mine
shines just like the one in the picture!

Ruth, you are amazing!

I just got done savoring the entire website, for those that missed it:
http://www.ruthleaf.com

Your latest Universe series is incredibly powerful alhtough I am still drawn
to the Brainscape series the most. The Unsinkable Ruth Leaf is my newest
nickname for you! Just incredible output and originality of idea.

Thank you for sharing your incredible talent,
Maria

Kathe,
I tried to leave you a message on your blog..to no
avail.

After coordinating several exchanges I figured out you
can get a couple of file boxes and hanging files, just
file the prints as they arrive and you are all ready
to pack them when the time to ship them out is here.
It was so much easier than having stacks of prints all
over the place.
My best to you
Barbara
