Exchange #37 is now only 5 weeks from the deadline!
DUE DATE IS AUGUST 1ST
http://www.barenforum.org/exchange/exchange_37/exchange_37.html


This means this are the last few days to drop out gracefully and avoid the
sword of Damacles falling upon your miserable heads.
Consider this a gentle cracking of the proverbial whip. I have 4 sets of
prints in my hands.

Also, if you wish to do a double exchange, please let me know offlist
maria[at]mariarango.com so I can upgrade a substitute.
Sharen Linder is the first to do a double and I'm the only one on the
waiting list.

Subject: [Baren 36108] corrections for prints and congratullations to Marylinn

Dear Marylinn:

I am happy for your new studio. Your print is very nice also. I saw the prints at the Baren page. My set is still waiting in Laredo. Congratulations to all the printers they are all very good prints, design and technique.

Question to all: I finished a set of linoleum prints and I corrected some for the first time. When I was in school in the 70's we would not correct a print. My personal opinion is that the small white dots in the print can give character but I liked the corrections also. The question is: What do most people prefer in a print (for an exchange) the small white dots or some of the corrections showing? I know the ideal is to correct without showing. I know this was a past issue sorry; there is where I learned one could correct.
Best Regards and Greetings from México
