Subject: [Baren 8534] Dragon Swap 

Hi all,

I finally finished my cards for the Dragon Swap and they will be going out in 
tomorrow's mail.  Sorry for the lateness but I seemed to have developed some 
problems with my arms and shoulders that made doing anything artist not only 
painful but clumsy.  I had to resort to a non-tradition method of getting 
this swap completed but I hope no one will mind very much.

I waited until I had my works done to open all the Dragons that I have 
received so far.  (I didn't want to chicken out!)  I took the whole bundle of 
envelopes over to my daughter's house and we opened them all and passed them 
around for everyone to see and ooooh and ahhh over.  It was like Christmas in 
February.  I want to tell you all how thrilled we were with each and every 
print that came into my mailbox.  (And part of the fun was seeing all the 
different countries that were represented!)  It was wonderfully enlightening 
to see how everyone interpreted the theme and produced the print.  I will 
treasure these always since it looks like my time in printmaking may be 
coming to an end even before it got truly started.   

I hope you will like my humble effort as much as I liked all of yours.....

It seems like most of you can reach my webpages okay.  Thanks for nice
comments.    Josephine I don't know why 50 percent of them didn't
download for you.  They take a little time, then they are suddenly
there.  I know of one time when one image didn't download for me, but
the icon was there where an image should have been, and when I clicked
on it, the image popped up fine.  

Wanda, you asked about the image "needle scratching in wood" and yes,
that indeed was my James Mundie experiment.  I had drawn a little
portrait of Jim and used him for the image.  However, it doesn't look
that much like him.  I enjoyed working with the needle, but I guess
according to James it works better to use pine instead of poplar, and I
did use poplar.

Gail, Your webpage of woodcuts is awsome, but it seems to me I accessed
your page before and there were paintings and drawings.  Am I mixing you
up with someone else..Ruth

I would like to hear more about the needle-scratching technique. Gayle?
Jim? Any explanations?

Whether or not it looks like your husband, it is a beautiful print!

Thanks, Jack, for the paper explanations. Very helpful.

Hi All

Things are moving along here. 

I have finally proofed the print I have been carving the last week or
so. It is Australian Wildflowers and can be seen at

http://www.acay.com.au/~severn/temporar.htm

I am dedicating it to Julio and Gregory.

This bouquet originated from one of my #5 ideas which was to make a
print with the national flower of each of the baren member countries. I
may do that print yet ...

I also finished the Junin Toiro page and it is now uploaded at

http://www.acay.com.au/~severn/junin.htm

*Warning* those of you in the exchange who want to be surprised by the
real thing are advised not to go here yet. It has images of the exchange
print on it.

I just couldnt wait to share these prints with you all.

Childishly eager
Josephine

Josephine: Your Australian Wildflowers print is lovely.  Even more so to me,
who has never had a print dedicated to him!

Yours,
Gregory

Josephine,
I really enjoyed your new prints. I especially liked all the information
so we could see your thought process in arriving at the designs. Very
nice job. Of course I could not resist seeing a new print, so will not
be surprised, but that is OK, the real print will look different than
the computer image, so that will be surprise enough.
I am starting computer classes in photoshop and front page in March, so
hope to have a web page up there soon! Well, maybe before the end of the
year, wouldn't want to rush into anything.
Barbara
