Apologies if it looked like I was shouting'Year of the Black
Water Dragon' but I'd copied and pasted it from a website
and it enlarged itself - BTW how does a black water dragon
differ from a regular garden variety dragon?! all references
on Chinese sites called it this.......?

Send Message: To this poster

Hi all, I am sitting in a favorite restaurant in the southern Baja,
500 miles from our condo. The sun is shining and we had a great drive
so far. I want to thank Julio for his many years doing the Chinese new
year cards you have done a great job for all of us. Thank you Carol
Baker for taking on the project so we can continue exchanging cards.
My rabbit block is packed among my things and is number one on my list
of art things to do when I get settled in.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Subject: Mystique Series #17 : printing steps 12~14
Posted by: Dave Bull

Here's the first of the overprintings on the bird's tail. This is a separate block, one that is cut with some striations to add a kind of 'feather' texture:

Subject: Day 6 and another pastel / Dia 6 y otro pastel
Posted by: Diane Cutter


'Anchorage 2' ~ 'Anclaje 2'
Pastel ~ 4"x6" (10cm x 15cm)

Another Caribbean anchorage scene...  I'm enjoying the pastel mini pieces immensely.  After working so long in printmaking, which has many steps, the change to pastel is refreshing both because it's quick and it's colorful.


Otra escena de un anclaje caribeno...  Estoy gozando inmensamente estas pinturas mini en pastel.  Despues de trabajar tanto con el grabado, un proceso de muchos estapas, el cambio es refrescante porque es rapido y colorido.
