Harry, those are wonderful as always. I have not thought of late to
say thanks for sharing, I enjoy seeing your work. April fools day does
seem appropriate for launching that set of prints, delightful.

Subject: [Baren 38546] problems with posting on and receiving the digest
Send Message: To this poster
Hi, Baren people,
I am an old member who participated in some exchanges and the calendar
project and then dropped out to make quilts for a while. I always
continued to get the digest, even though I wasn't active as a
printmaker. Now, I'm back into making prints and I signed up for
exchange number 40.
I tried to post a message a couple of weeks ago, but it never appeared
on the digest. I asked Barbara Mason, a Baren member friend, what she
thought I should do. She suggested unsubscribing and signing up
again. She thought it had been so long since I posted that I was no
longer recognized by the system. Since I was still getting the
digest, I was a little hesitant to do that. I went to the Baren site
and wrote an e-mail that I thought was going to go to the moderator,
asking for suggestions -- but that must not have worked since I didn't
get a response.
So, I did unsubscribe and then signed up again. I'd been reading
about the plain text version, on the digest, and thought making sure I
made that choice might end my "inability to post" problem. So I
checked that box during my sign up. (I think I ONLY checked for plain
text, but maybe I am wrong about this...)
I apologize, in advance, for being such a computer dunce. I hope
another subscriber can help me get things squared away ----
problem 1. I don't know if I can post. I guess this message is a
test.
problem 2. I am now getting two copies of the digest, one that
looks like what I used to get and one that seems to have some
additional ineligible computer text in it. Is the version with the
odd text in it the
plain text version? Must I get that version
to be able to post? How do I get rid of one version of the digest, so
I won't get two every day?
About a year ago, I changed from a PC to an Apple computer. Is that
part of this problem? Although, when I made the switch, the single
copy of the digest I used to get kept coming with no problem.
Thanks, in advance, for any advice any of you artistic/computer whiz
types can give me. Suzi Sutherland-Martin

Subject: Dorothy May Jumps In
Posted by: Annie B
 For several weeks now I've been working on sketches for a pair of portraits of John Alden and Priscilla Mullins Alden. I think I've got John where I want him, but I'm finding sketching Priscilla pretty daunting. Nineteenth and 20th century depictions of Priscilla show a pretty and demure young woman but I just can't think of her that way. No woman who would get on a rickety old ship with her family and head for an unknown wilderness where everything would have to be built from scratch could possibly have been demure. And she probably wouldn't have remained pretty for very long, either. What this struggle to depict Priscilla has revealed to me is how inaccessible the lives of the women of Plimoth Colony are to a 21st century inquiry. I haven't found any verbal descriptions of Priscilla from her contemporaries. All I have is my imagination, and a simple imagining of myself in her position evokes such a feeling of terror I can barely imagine how she could have slept at night. Enter Dorothy May Bradford. Her husband William Bradford never wrote about the circumstances of her death, but a generation later the Puritan historian Cotton Mather wrote that one day as the Mayflower lay moored in Provincetown Harbor and William was away on a scouting mission, Dorothy accidentally slipped over the side of the ship and drowned.

Subject: Tiger & Sloth test print
Posted by: Ellen Shipley
 Here's the test print. Not too bad. Maybe a couple lines need a little more definition. I showed it to Kitty and Kurt. They liked it. Kitty wants 50 prints! Hoo-boy. I'd better get busy. (She actually needs 150, but she's going to print up some copies on Lulu to hand out to the rest of her court.) That's a big court!  |

Subject: Hierophant Keyline Progress
Posted by: Phare-Camp
 I've been working on carving the keyline block for the Hierophant. He's card number 5 in the Tarot Major Arcana (trumps). I carve a little on the floor tiles (tiny details) then shift to the skeletons or columns (larger details). This is because the floor tiles are so tiny and detailed that my right wrist and elbow get sore. I can carve the larger details with my left hand but daren't try carving tiny details with the left. I'm making good progress with it. I just turn on the classic movie channels as I carve. I've seen those old black and whites a thousand times; I visualize the stories as I carve. No need to look away from my carving as I listen to Orsen Wells "we don't need no stinking badges..." Went to a teaching workshop in Hunting Beach this weekend. It was wonderful. The beach was awesome, the food at the pier was delicious and I actually learned something. The Pearson Publishing workshop on student success covered how to recognize your own learning and teaching style, how to recognize your students' learning styles and how to adjust it for students who don't learn the way you teach. It was pretty valuable information. I picked . . . [Long item has been trimmed at this point. The full blog entry can be viewed here] |
