Barbara,
I'm almost finished. Will be working today and tomorrow. Also trying
to get ready to deliver a show of my own work and recovering from the
Hardy Plant Soc, of OR garden tour last weekend. I will NEVER
volunteer my garden again. It is way too much work and not long on
fun. Anyway, I will have them done this week - or else. And, then I
can help you with whatever else you need. Meanwhile, I will get to
work on the colophon verbiage.

Cheers,
Sharri

Finished carving finally.


Now I'm ready for a test print, but in the meantime, here is a faux print - b&w mirror image of the block:

Subject: Lessons from IMHC 2011 and Visiting Japan
Posted by: Linda


I have had some time to get over the jet lag of the return trip from Japan and to think about the lessons learned from the First International Moku Hanga Conference and the additional 10 days I spent exploring Japan.

Traveling to Japan
As a conservationist and environmental artist, I was concerned about the impact that the March earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster had on the conference, the people of Shiga prefecture (Michigan's Sister State), Kyoto and the environment. It seemed to me that the best way to support the living was to follow through with my plans to go to Japan. I was dis-couraged about going by many well meaning friends and family, which is understandable. But, as was pointed out to me over and over again in Japan, it was over. Life was going on. I was told many times to encourage everyone I knew to come to Japan. The impression in the U.S. was that the whole of Japan was affected by the nuclear disaster. But that is like saying the the whole of Pennsylvania and the east coast was rendered unlivable after the 1979 Three Mile Island nuclear meltdown.

I saw and felt the deep, deep sorrow among the local Japanese people that I met about the . . .

Subject: A tale of travels, tents and travails
Posted by: Elizabeth Busey

I have not been blogging for the past month because I embarked on the adventure of outdoor art shows. This year I applied to many shows and I?m trying them out to see just where my art is best received.


I attended the Broad Ripple Art Fair at the Indianapolis Art Center, Summerfair in Cincinnati, and the Art Fair on the Square in my hometown of Bloomington, IN. I spent lots of time talking with people, and found a home for some of my work. What I found most interesting was people?s lack of knowledge about printmaking. Either people had done some printmaking, and knew exactly what it was, or they had no idea, and thought my work was painted, airbrushed or computer generated.


I experimented with different ways to get people to talk with me about my art. I had a sign that read, ?What am I looking at?? Another sign read ?hand-pulled original prints? which some people reacted to, although I fear they were thinking of a hand-pulled draft beer. I always had the ?final? block from one of my prints for them to touch. Some people were willing to ask questions, but many more were not. As I complete the year, I may experiment with some photos from . . .
