Nice web site, Barbara. I especially like the poetry and solar plate
collaboration. The poetry and the prints really complement each other
well.

Barbara - Thanks for the link! I just spent much time watching the video
and viewing Kelly's work - absolutely fascinating -and does it look like
they're registering by sight/feel as they print?? the chine collé he
incorporates is so impressive ...The high realism (except for the
portraits) on such a gigantic scale is likewise impressive!

Hi Kristine -

Apologies for a 2nd post but this is on another topic.

Thank for the reminder and thank goodness it looks like my prints will
make it more or less on time - hope everyone else is doing well too..

I've had a strange time with this print and wonder if anyone else has
had similar problems - I used the shina ply I got from McClains I forget
how many years ago when at the Vancouver Summit - usually I don't need
to harden it for cutting but this block seemed rather softer than I
remembered -can it 'soften' with time or in the extreme humidity we're
having?..I made my first mistake with a coat of grey acrylic then coated
it with diluted shellac (which never seemed to dry as hard as it should
and eventually was removed) Along with my tool sharpening nonskills
cutting was difficult - I'd also decided on a lot of fine lines(unusual
for me)
The shina seemed rather soft and wanted to splinter BUT the first
prints are actually fine and I just hope it holds up for the rest of
the edition..... it's a good thing we only need 21 to send out!

BTW I won't be doing much more printmaking for a bit as I'll be having a
largish solo show (in Toronto) April 2011 and have plans for new
paintings.... as with all plans, they can change and I'll probably end
up with some prints as well..?!

another BTW - congrats to Mike Lyon for HIS giant prints - would love to
see them in the 'flesh'! also kudos to Brbara for her Solarplate notes -
will have to order it!
cheers
Louise C.

Send Message: To this poster

Barbara Mason's entrepreneurial ventures are always inspiring. I have been
wondering how I could publish on my blog, a pdf or just a blog version of my
wildflower coloring book and also a pamphlet about vegetable food art for
kids. Maybe even my own print catalog. I'd like people to be able to pay
for it with credit card and download it, as I once did with a pamphlet on
papercutting. I put that stuff on my blog for free and I have no idea if
anyone downloads it or not, but I need some money now, so I'd like to sell
it if I can. Thanks for your always wonderful advice.

María Arango Congratullations. Exchanges are so much fun. What about just naming it "NEVADA" or "From Nevada"

Jan,
Thank you for posting this.
This part is new information to me....A sponge moistened sheet of
Dutch Etching paper (doesn't say what company) is placed on top of the
block. Pressure is applied to the back of the paper by hand using a
small lino-roller allowing the wet paint to penetrate the paper.

"The paper is peeled back and the block sprayed many times until the
image has fully appeared. This procedure takes from one to three
hours......................

armed with this new info i made a new small white line print. i think
i may have been trying to print with a lot less passes in the past and
over saturating the block/paper this time i used much less spray per
pass. here is a link to the print
http://vizart.blogspot.com/2010/07/peacock-feather-white-line-woodcut.html
P.S. i used watercolors mix with iridescent powers for this one not
water soluble crayons.
