Hi There,
please could we add our blog to your list.

www.oldfield-press.blogspot.com

We are trying to document the setting up of our printshop. The peaks and troughs, the etsys, folksys and galleries we have approached opened and sold through and since Christmas the unexpected disasters.
Hope you like it and happy new year,

Send Message: To this poster

Haven't heard for a while. Could we have an update on the San Antonio
gathering?

How many registered?

How many Baren members are planning to attend but have not yet registered?



I'm asking because the WEN (Wood Engraver's Network) gathering is the week
after and I have to make plans to attend one or both or??



Thanks,

Maria

Subject: Mystique Series #10 : Printing Stages 11~13
Posted by: Dave Bull

And ... another three more today too!

A block to darken up the underside of the ferryboat, and also add a few 'highlights' here and there:

And the final 'bare' passenger gets his drapery coloured, along with the motif on the coat of the flower seller:

And the most dramatic of all the impressions - the water gets its depth coat:

That concludes our 'regularly scheduled programming' ... but she is of course not finished. It's time for me to put it aside for a while, and start doing some experiments on the next stages.

We're of course going to turn it into a snowy day, and there are a few different ways to do that. Snow is sometimes created by cutting out little holes in all of the blocks to leave the white paper showing, but it's too late for that method this time! Another method - as shown in this print I made some years ago - is to carve a block for the flakes, and print them in an opaque white pigment.

But I think this time we'll explore another method, something I have seen in old prints but have never tried. Hopefully, tomorrow's report will be positive ...

Subject: Kite Progress
Posted by: Annie B

Here's the progress I've made so far on the Blessings Kite.

KiteStencil
Since I'm going to make the print with just one block, I began by making an acetate stencil to isolate the hand from the background.

PaintedShadows
Then I painted some gray onto the board.

Edition:  50 + 2 AP

           
I've been having fun with a doodle process called 'Zentangle'.  The recent the Baren Forum print exchange was an open theme and I wanted to do something whimsical so I used one of my recent Zentangle doodles and was pleased at how nicely it converted into a linocut print.  I'm actually working on a series (10 in all) which I will upload as they get finished.

He estado divirtiendome con un proceso de dibujo 'Zentangle'.    El reciente intercambio de grabados del Baren Foro tenia un tema abierto y quise hacer algo caprichoso, asi que use unos de mis disenos, satisfecha de lo bien que se convirtio en una impresion de grabado en linoleo.  En este momento estoy trabajando en . . .
