Hi Folks,

Just a note to let you know even though I seem quiet as moderator, I
do work on problem-solving for individuals behind the scenes. :-)

That said, next week I'll be away a few days, so if you have posting
problems, you can ask David Harrison, in charge of subscriptions.

As for the archives, they should appear automatically online (Dave
Bull has set up a way we can do that) though they won't be indexed
until I get back.

I have learned a lot recently re oily residue and Bareners'
suggestions to resolve it. Thanks, everyone. Barbara, I was
especially interested in your kitty litter idea.

For sealing "nasty" areas for painting, most old painters I know use shellac. Personally, I have covered bubblegum goo on walls that previously just continuously seeped through all paints I tried. It is a standard treatment for knots in pine and other resinous woods. It might be worth a try to re-seal your block with a couple of THINNED coats of shellac.

Cheers ....... Charles

Hooray Maria!

I am really looking forward to another wonderful batch of prints. I'll
be taking them to my new classes, they are great at breaking the ice,
and begin a really good dialog in artistic ideas, composition, color,
texture and all the other juicy bits. The classes really enjoy seeing
the variety and seemed relieved that they don't all have to work the
same way to be successful. Thank you all in advance for your inspiring
work.

Oh yes, I do have a question, and hope it is not too far off the mark.
I am currently making collages, using all sorts of prints, woodblock
(oily), etchings, monotypes, as well as water colors, all layered and
adjacent to one another -- in the collective's humble opinion, what
would be the best adhesive? Archival, also. I am leaning toward using
an acrylic medium, but am worried of the effect with the oil based
inks. Thanks so much!
