Dave, thanks for the link. I enjoyed them all, and even picked up an
idea to help with design elements I have been working on for a
different project. I'm kind of excited now.

I also went to the demonstration on how to use the baren and think I
have been doing it wrong for hanga. I thought we were supposed to do
these tiny circles of movement with the Baren, but it looks like rather
large sweeping and zig zaggy motions.

These are awe inspiring...what a great collection! I thought the link looked sort of like a rooster, maybe.
Best to all,
Barbara

Get a bottle of Lineco brand "Pure Rice Starch" for museum mounting at your
local arts and crafts store or from Daniel Smith on line. I cook up 1/4
cup at a time -- mix two level teaspoons of the powdered starch with 1/4
cup of water and, while stirring constantly for the three minutes or so it
takes, I heat it in about 1/2" of water in my cheap electric water heater
for tea/coffee (like a low-tech double boiler) until it is thick and creamy
-- if I'm going to use it for more than a day, I add a couple squirts of
formalin and stir -- then let it cool, add water to taste and enjoy!

This stuff works the best... You can also buy prepared rice paste in tubes
from baren mall, Daniel Smith, etc. It's almost as good and never
spoils. You can also cook paste from rice flour and water or wheat flour
and water but these are not as nice in my opinion -- have poor transparency
and dry a bit 'dusty' -- methyl cellulose can be bought in powder form and
mixed according to directions -- my experience is that it really takes
several days for the paste to even out and I shake the heck out of it
regularly like everyone else... Methyl cellulose seems to me to work
well, but it definitely 'feels' different and doesn't seem to 'like' water
quite as much as rice starch paste... and it doesn't mix on the block
quite the same way -- I use it about half the time recently, but I believe
I prefer rice starch...

All over the map. Most of them are people making prints as a hobby,
but if you look carefully at the file names you will find some
'specials' ... (These file names are a bit long and may 'wrap-around';
paste them back together if you have to)

Here's the one from Toshi Yoshida's son Tsukasa:

This one is from the Adachi workshop:

And this is Matsumura-san's own card:

Hi Dave,

As always the New Year cards from Matsumura-san's collection are
outstanding....so much diversity and so many beautiful images....so much
to learn !!!

Could not help notice a number of other birds....like parrots, cranes,
flamingos, etc....I guess the 'Rooster' thing is somewhat open to
interpretation...

thanks so much to Sadako-san and Matsumura-san for sharing these with
us......

Dave, there are some wonderful roosters here (and some wonderful prints which are NOT roosters as well, there are two that I love, one w/a seagull on a post and one with a drenched and scruffy sparrow).

thanks very much for sharing this link with us. It makes me sad I missed the boat on joining the rooster exchange this year!

best wishes
Sarah
