My mailbox has suddenly stopped giving me Baren mail (it goes into a
separate folder) -has anyone else experienced this (or perhaps there
have been no new postings -last one to arrive is below) any ideas what
to do?

I've only gotten 4 posts in the past 3 days. I wondered if there were
something wrong. So where are the posts going?

Subject: If there is only one.......day two
Posted by: Viza Arlington



i printed one print and one ghost print today. i didn't add any more paint to the background. the ghost print colors seems to be more consistent so my paint thicknesses probably need to be thinner still to get an even look on the first print. widening the lines helped keep paint where it was supposed to be i think they could be wider still... next print.

white line woodblock print on Rives BFK
image size:18X24 inches

I used Beech for this and its so darn hard i decided to use a wood burning tool for the lines but even that had a tough time cutting through. i used a bit too much water on this one plus my lines are too shallow and thin so i had some running together. I also think that i laid down too much/too thick watercolor for most of the colors. I went back and widened my lines last night but haven't printed another one yet so we''ll see if that helps. since these prints take so long to complete the learning curve is also slow. I should probably make some smaller pieces to practice on but i guess i just like doing things the hard way. why else would i have even started these white line prints? They are so not efficient and kind of go against everything "printmaking" but i can't stop for some reason.
