9-11 was, indeed, a huge tragedy but, by comparison, Americans
murder over 14,000 other Americans every year so it would seem that
there are other more pressing issues within the North American
society that need to be examined and dealt with: poverty, religious
and racial tolerance to name a few.

Let's look to the future.

I wonder how strictly a print will be judged against the Moku Hanga
standard. If one were to use Akua Kolor inks, is it Moku Hanga? If one
prints on non-Japanese paper? What if the paper is dry? What if one
prints with a press instead of a baren? Etc.

Hi All,
Thanks Diane, this was exactly what I was hoping for!

The resources online are mostly for little kids and don't involve the complexity that are in your prints, they show a lot of one colour rolled on printing. So I was confused about how to get the colour localized but if it's like the white line that people have been talking about lately, I can work on figuring that out.

We definitely have the styrene/styrofoam butcher trays and those are the ones I'll likely be using. I know one of the art stores carries flat sheets but since this is experimenting/playing with a group of friends I don't want to buy anything if I can get the trays for free!

I don't have akua-Kolor inks, would watercolour/gouche or tempra paint work, do you think? One online tutorial used speedball, which I have some limited colours of, so I'll start with that I think... yeah!

Thank you again,
Lee

Dear Kristine,

as I never did a Moku Hanga before, this will be a real challenge for me
if I will decide to take part, especially with the paper size. But
because our forum is the [baren] forum, I think we have to face the
challenge and do our best. My opinion.

i like having the all moku hanga exchanges. The first exchange i
participated in here at the baren was an all moku hanga exchange. I
had know idea what i was doing but it was a great experience and i
learned a alot (mostly what not to do) but my image turned out fine
and i have been hooked ever since. I hope the moku hanga exchange
tradition doesn't fade away. Be brave go for it!

I agree. I think there are plenty of other issues happening right now
that could be addressed. But to each their own i have no interest
though.

Lee...

I would experiment before giving the workshop. I think watercolor seems a bit
pricey but, if the paper is damp, you can get some very nice results. I've been
pleased with watercolor. I would think the same for gouache or tempera.

I would be sure to register the plate and paper so you can repeat color
applications for deeper intensity. By that I mean to just tape both plate and
paper in place so you get everything lined up for a repeated color... nothing
fancy. I find old sheets of plexiglass (too scratched to use for framing or
monotypes) useful for taping down.

Good luck... It sounds like fun and you've inspired to use up the rest of my
'gifted' plates.

Hi Viza. I am impressed at the viscosity printing. I will learn more about it. I did not know it existed. I like color a lot so this technique suits me very well. Thank you very much. Saludos, Guadalupe

Send Message: To this poster

Mary, I agree with you. Now is the time.

I realize there are many tragedies in this world but 9/11 was here on this soil.
It has haunted me ever since.
This Sept. 11th I had a black ribbon on my car and a black armband.

I think whoever wants to be in a 9.11 project should be allowed to and those who don't, don't .

just my humble opinion.

Jeanne
