Robert, there are some clean looking, inexpensive frames coming from
offshore that have easy to remove backs on them and that use standard
mat sizes. I get them in discount stores and use them when I'm
selling at art festivals so that the total price is affordable.
Another effective option, in an indoor display area, is to put the
prints in acetate sleeves then hang the envelopes with those long, T-
shaped pins that, I assume, you get from a dressmaker's supply shop.
They really focus attention on the print.
I have noticed that most people prefer to buy something with a frame,
even an inexpensive one, rather than having to go find their own.

Details, details, on the collaboration exchange, ears are perking......

Yes, Eric Gill was quite the fellow, too bad he couldn't make the gig.

I just looked at the Exchange #42 sign up and noticed I got bumped off the main list. I was number 26 or 27. Is it because I had to drop out of #41?

I have my blocks and paper all cut and will be printing them next week. I hope that I will yet get to be included. This size paper gave me so many new ideas. Love it!

Pushpins! They were used in a display at the MOMA in NYC .
I used pushpins in the Baren 911 Exhibit. Prints were all the same size
in plastic bags.and when one was sold, another was put up.We made money to
benefit the Firemen of 911.
Also, someone else has just recommended using a T pin one can get at a
sewing store.
Good luck to you

Greetings,

Just a photographic record of a lightening visit of Barener Davis Stones
and his wife from Japan to my studio in Lincoln UK.

With so little time available the conversation was at hyper - speed. He had
business on the coast and we were are packing for our annual visit to
Holstein, Northern Germany.... plus hanging in waiting for our latest
grandchild to arrive into the world!

Regards,

Harry

How nice to see Barener faces, Harry... Thanks for including us in the 'visit'. And congratulations on the upcoming 'edition' to your family.

Lynita... It was a true treat to view your work. Congratulations on the exhibition.

Subject: Chicago: WEN Workshop (1)
Posted by: Andy English

The open studios were over very quickly and I had just under a week to prepare to fly out to Chicago as guest artist to the Wood Engraver's Network at their annual workshop. I had a pleasantly uneventful journey to Chicago O'Hare International Airport, where I was met by our wonderfully attentive hosts Sharen and Don Linder who took me to my hotel. I tried to ignore the fact that everything electronic that I owned reminded me that it was about 4am back home.



I awoke 4:30am local time Sunday morning and enjoyed a swim before a leisurely breakfast at six o'clock and a walk around the neighbourhood. There was a lovely lakeside park opposite the hotel.


After my walk I was ready for a nap and then, getting hungry, I wandered round to Tacos El Norte, a Mexican diner next to the hotel for a burrito. It was good to be back in the US again.



... and some drawing - working out the design for the block that I planned to engrave during the week - a view of part of our garden. It was a detail from the steps that already feature towards the left of the centre of this print.



Other engravers arrived during the afternoon so it was back to the diner for a beer and then we drove to Sharen and Don's lovely house where we set up our gear in the basement and enjoyed a very pleasant supper with the assembled engravers before heading back - very tired - to the hotel.

The next morning, we started . . .
