We're all out lazing about in the sun, Jenny. The canoes are out, the
hammocks are up and the gardens are blooming. Now, if you'll excuse
me, I'm going back outside:-)

I know it is winter here in the Southern Hemisphere, but is there any
reason why there are onlly 3 to 5 posts a day?? Is all right with the
world! (I hate to sound so deep)

Where am I woodblockwise?
I have been amazed looking at all the fine prints you all are doing!!
Now I am on a break from actual woodblock work and preparing for the
Provincetown White Line class I will be taking. Linking into all the white line
prints on Internet is exciting. This website has many kinds of prints.

(http://www.woodblock-prints.com/html/fin_pri.htm)
I went through the list from A-Z, stopping only at woodblocks.
Now my ideas are too numerous and ambitious. What to plan on is the next
woodblock job. . .
Happy Fourth!

Hi Jenny,

Let's start a conversation about inspiration, or color choice or the beauty of black and white work, or an interesting artist from the past -- How about the origins of printmaking -- do you think that early Mesopotamian cylinder seals have anything to do with the development of printmaking? I am sure someone will come up with something interesting to talk about.

Still cool here in Oregon, but the strawberries are ready and they are delicious!

Carol,
I will be anxious to see what you find out in this class... especially paper and ink. I have tried it here in Oregon, as have those in my class and we have sort of decided that for the effort and results, we are going back to moku hanga as it is a lot easier and more predictable.
I hope you will be able to give us some pearls of wisdom that might get us trying white line again at some future time
My best
Barbara

Yes, I too am very interested in what you learn.
I can't leave the process alone though,
I'm still held by some kind of fascination...
or maybe I'm a glutton for punishment,
although, I will say that I was really happy to get this one off the block.

Subject: Update: back to work ...
Posted by: Dave Bull

A month since the previous RoundTable update ... It's been a very busy month, but 'busy' in a peaceful and relaxed way!

I actually returned to Japan over a week ago, but had to jump right back into the work, as the deadline for shipping print #4 in the Mystique series is coming closer. But - as a lot of the preparation had been done before I left - that didn't take too long, and the first batch of 100+ prints is now drying, ready for inspection and signing. We'll have a look at it later ...

I got the printing finished late on Friday night, and then had to 'clear the decks', as on Saturday I played host to a group of 13 visitors.

(No, that's not my house in the photo - it's the noodle shop across the street!)

Carver Asaka-san (sitting just to my left) brought over a gang of his students - people who are studying carving with him. They are mostly amateurs, but a couple of them have aspirations towards making a career out of this, and I was happy to agree when he asked about coming.

We spent an interesting day squeezed into my small place, looking at prints and blocks and just generally chatting about our work. A nice break for me, too.

And - although it isn't related at all to printmaking - I should report at least a bit on the Canada trip ...

Easiest way to do that is perhaps give you a photo, and a link to a little story that accompanies it.
