I got a lovely Ox card from L.Cass in Santa Cruz, California with not a peep from my usually terrified postman about anything amiss about the postage.
Cheers.

Subject: One-hour TV Documentary now online ...

Now it can be told! Back in the waning years of my 10-year project to make prints of all the Hyakunin Isshu poets (1989~1998) I was 'followed' around by a crew preparing a 'made-for-TV' one hour documentary program on the work. This aired in February 1999, just after the final exhibition of the series. A few years later, when I began to put clips from various TV shows onto this website, in the Woodblock Shimbun press section, the producer asked me to hold off on this one - until 10 years had passed since the original broadcast. I have no idea if this was to comply with copyright regulations, or some other rules, but I of course respected her wishes. That limitation has now passed, so I have uploaded video of the program to the site. Rather than one huge file, I have split it into five sections, following the commercial breaks in the original production. Here's the first part, along with links to the rest ... 'Human Drama' - A Canadian woodblock printmaker's 10 year journey (Part One) Aired on TV Tokyo in February 1999 ... a one hour made-for-TV documentary program. Although I feel that the producer focussed rather too much on the melodramatic aspects of our family life during that ten year period, the program does indeed give a pretty . . . |

Subject: It Worked!
Posted by: Annie B
 This morning I printed the Mayflower block using the setup I showed you in the previous post and it worked like a charm. It was a fussy process, as I had to wipe ink off the mask after every impression and I also needed to use a wooden spoon along with the baren in order to get a firm print along the edges of the acetate mask. I wanted a sort of ghostly impression with the boat almost a part of the water, so I'm happy with how it came out. Here's a shot of the block inked and the mask in place:  Copyright Woodblock Dreams blog

 Priestess test with brownish lines stenciled in the library. think I will add another line in the upper left where it's a bit empty. I think a grayish violet would also work best in here to get a little contrast with the golden shades. Also think I will dry stencil just a little white in the library ceiling. Emperor with chromatic gray glaze to mute the background. Used a stencil for this. The experiment with the cut marks didn't work as planned but I think I will try it on the press and make some plain keylines just to try and push the envelope a little. Although I wont experiment/mess with the plates until I've done an edition of these first. |
