Dianne,

Thanks for answering my question. Now do you have any idea when this last print will
arrive so you can finish collating? I cannot wait to see all these beautiful prints!

Gosh, Tibi, I don't ever remember stencils being prohibited. Although
the rules I found stated that prints had to be woodblock or linoleum
block prints, I couldn't find anything about stencils. IMHO stencils
used in combination with a woodblock print should be fine.

I agree with Wanda completely.

I have not had any of my prints rejected. I have clearly stated on at
least two exchange prints that they were done using woodblock and
"pochoir" or stenciling. The term "pochoir" is French for "stencil";
the technique was used extensively to produce prints in the Art
Nouveau and Art Deco styles.

The colophon for my print "Dark Lily" in exchange #26 specifically
talks about my use of stenciling. On that print I sometimes stenciled
onto the block and then printed; but I sometimes stenciled directly
onto the paper. As I recall, there were about 18 or 19 separate
applications of color to that print. Frankly, I would be unwilling to
carve 18 or 19 separate blocks. My other exchange print that was made
with woodblock and pochoir was "Peacock Nude" in exchange #29. For
that print, I believe all my stenciling was directly onto the paper.

My understanding of the rules is that woodblock must form a major
component of the printing technique, but otherwise most anything
goes. Perhaps I am in error, but I do not believe stenciling is out
of bounds when it is combined with woodblock techniques.

Cheers .... Charles
