Hello all,
Sorry not to be more active on this, I came back from Arizona with
Shingles....the good news is I am fine now but it was a difficult couple of
weeks, the medicine was worse than the disease.... Chicken Pox virus for those
of you that don't recognize this evil thing.
there is a vaccination for those over 60..so maybe you might want to check into
it...I wish I had done so.

At any rate I will be getting back on top of the project,,,so far I have
received prints from the following folks, in no particular order.

Carol Chapel
Angelo Rodrigues
JR Martindale
Diana Moll
Gillyin Gato
Alexander Wozinck
Linda Beeman
Sonia Jensen
April Vollmer
Carole Dwinell
Carol Lyons
Lynita Shimzu
Melea Press

We have commitments to show the work in NY, Portland, South Africa and Mexico...
Let me know if you find a venue for a benefit show in your area and more on this
next week. The brochure still needs some verbiage as does the website so if you
have writing skills let me know. Otherwise I will muddle it through next week.
Mercy Corps is having a real time video update on Japan on the 13th here at
their headquarters in Portland and I plan to go see what is happening and maybe
get some publicity for our project.
I look forward to receiving the rest of the work this month
My best to you all
Barbara

Hi Barbara, I know how horrible Shingles can be. I had it a couple of years ago and still have a bit of the residue from it. Yuk! Anyone who can should get the vaccine for it. It is an awful disease! In regard to showing the work in other places I may have a contact here in Los Angeles. Can you give me the particulars on showing, please? Bea Gold

Hi Barbara -- I'm checking in re the prints. I have just finished my 25th print. It's slow-going with this one. The ball bearing baren has been putting holes in the paper now and then, and then I have to start over. It did it twice already today, but I managed to print three complete prints so far today. I hope to finish over the weekend if the weather cooperates (I'm printing on the back porch). There will need to be some drying time before I can send, but they are coming.

Barbara,

I am finishing my prints. After reading some of the Baren emails today, I am hoping my colophon has arrived.

My print is multi-block and multi-colored and quite complicated. I will finish this coming week and send them as soon as they are dry. I hope I am in time.

How can I tell if my colophon has been recorded?

Peru Day Three ~ Preparation day # 3

On this, our final day of preparation, we enjoyed an informative presentation by Dr. Bartholomew Dean (K.U. Anthropology) with discussion about indigenous peoples, current political realities, and practical suggestions for getting around in Peru.

Peru Day Two ~ Preparation day # 2

Today we suited up in our field cloths and meet with Dr. Dean Kettle at the K.U. biological field station for an introduction to field methods. Cicadas had just emerged from their pupae and we everywhere drying their wings. We found a giant earthworm, a spider with a captive moth, and recently hatched snake (probably a black snake).







In the lunch room we

learned about entomologist humor and Super Weevil?s ?fight for justice for those with a snout.?
