In order to get on the Baren blog list I should know what an ATOM Feed is
and whether I have one.

Has anyone else found that not being technically savvy or following
complicated directions has definitely some advantages in experimenting? When I
first started woodblock carving and printing, not knowing what can and "should"
be done opened up exciting and fun possibilities for trying things out.
"You can't do that" was not an option.

Not long ago David H. wrote about a hanging/drying system he had
devised for drying prints. I told him I would photo what I use for
drying blotters and get it up on my blog, but it has taken me weeks
to get around to doing that. However, it is there now if you are
interested in having a look-see. It could be used for drying just
about anything - I throw towels over it, as well as hanging blotters
and the occasional print. It is a mystery, but my blog doesn't get
picked up by Baren automatically. Dave is working on it, so I have
high hopes that this will happen someday!

Send Message: To this poster

Sharri,
this drying system looks good but in order to see your
blog people will have to change the @ sign to a dot.
barebonesart.blogspot.com
My system is really simple, I have skirt hangers that
hang over a long pole my husband hooked to the ceiling
for me. I just hand up what I want and then stand on a
low step stool and hang them from the ceiling. Sort of
like hanging clothing in a closet. This works very
well with blotters and not bad with prints although
sometimes I wish I could get the clip part farther
apart or closer together. It moves a bit but not
enough for some things.
Maria has a good system as well, she uses clothes pins
from a rack she has mounted overhead.

As you should be. Question: One or two blocks?
