Andrew,
You might try dry mounting tissue.
Whatever you do, let us know how it works.

Andrew,
The double stick stuff that Barbara mentioned is excellent. I can
only add that you want to use it on dry paper. Also, the rule is dry
to dry, wet to wet and never the twain shall meet. Or something like
that - you get the gist.

I remember we used to dry mount photos (back in our dark room days), but it
required heat and pressure. Don't know what that would do to a print.

Hi Ya'll!

The Third [Baren] Summit will be held at the
studio gallery of member Le Green Schubert in San Antonio, Texas,
from Tuesday, June 14 through Saturday, June 18, 2011. This is the week following the convention in Japan, so if you are going there, keep flying toill you get to Texas!


We are arranging visits to the San Antonio Museum of Art and the McNay,
which will include time at the print room to view some of their extensive
collection. Baren member’s will also be invited to participate in an exhibition
during the month of June.

I will be posting more information shortly.

Yours,
Le

Subject: John Alexander & Thomas Roberts Reprint
Posted by: Annie B

As promised, I'll show you the print of John Alexander & Thomas Roberts that I finished and hated:

JAlexanderTRobertsRejectPrint

It's been nearly 2 months since I added the final black layer and a lot has happened in between -- mostly moving to a new house and studio. I thought that maybe I'd come back to this print after these few weeks and see it differently, but I still don't like it. I don't like the colors (too red white and blue) and I also don't like the black lettering that says "God said: Death to the Faggits (sic)".

That lettering is taken directly from a letter that was sent to the Episcopal Church Diocese of New Hampshire in 2003 when openly gay priest Gene Robinson was elected bishop. I have to admit that carving the lettering was very therapeutic. There's so much emotion in the way the text was written. It was written with what was apparently a ballpoint pen, the lines thickened by scribbling the same lines over and over again. My hands literally shook as I carved -- I could feel the anger and hatred in the letterforms as I carved this person's handwriting and it was frightening to recreate it.

RealHandwriting

I'm glad I did that carving. There was something powerful for me in facing this person's hatred and letting my own hands recreate it. I felt like I was defusing a bomb. But I don't like how it looks. It's too much. It doesn't need to be there in this print.

So out it will come. I have 16 new sheets of nishinouchi ready to go and I'm going to print these blocks all over again. But first, I have a wedding to go to -- my nephew Chris! See you next week...
