Hi from a notorious lurker. I have received many NY prints in the clear
bags and they didn't appear to have added postage...have also sent them that
way without having to add postage...from Canada. Unfortunately my Rat will
be later this year, he is carved but we leave for Mexico for a month next
week and I will print him when I return.
About the oil Maria and others have already answered, but for my 2 cents, I
use mineral oil only.

I got Patti's cards, no problem and no cancelled stamps, cool thanks for those. I want to apologize if anyone got a postage due with my cellophaned flying pigs. They told me at my PO they have to hand cancel the stamps , so there is a extra charge. I said please , please , please, ,, I sent them this way last year (address on inside paper , stamps on outside) and maybe 8 came back for more postage, I did on those. but this year none, so speak up if you got postage due, please. I don't want to do that to people this year.
Happy Chinese and Tibetan New Year!

Charles
Aren't you referring to the notorious Selrahc Nagrom? (It's okay, we all make spelling mistakes!)

Cheers,

I think Selrahc is actually Marles' cousin. But they are often confused. Both are brilliant artists, of course ...

Cheers ..... Charles

I also sent my year of the rat prints out in cellophane bags, so shoot me an email if you had a problem w/postage due etc.

I put a 41 cent stamp on each one.
I sent them out a long time ago so hopefully all of you on the list have received them :)

Hi Lynn,

I had a look at your prints and they looked really good, neither over exposed or washed out. Maybe your monitors are set up differently. There's nothing wrong with your prints from this side of the pond. Congratulations on your sale.

A message to Annie -
The problem is that most, if not all, insurance companies are now
refusing to insure products containing silica, and there's a trace of
silica in the silicone carbide or carborundum grits. We like many other
suppliers cannot in good consciousness sell something that we cannot be
insured for.

Graphic Chemical has been experimenting with an alternative grit that
has been used for years successfully, and seems to hold up well to most
printmaking applications. We're expecting to have stock very shortly on
some initial size grit (probably 50, 100, 180, and 220 grit), and will
let people know when it's in stock.

We will sell it the same way that carborundum was sold in containers of
1, 5 and 25 pounds, and I suspect that the pricing will be pretty
similar, too.
