Down here you can buy wintergreen oil at the chemist and on
essential oil stands - ie aromatherapy oils. Its about $11
for a little bottle. 

I remember those posts about problems with its toxicity. Its
supposed to cause deafness which I found very interesting.
My family were big users of this in England when i was a
girl and deafness runs in the family mambers who used to use
it. The smell is very nostalgic for me.

Graphic Chemical is located quite close to where I live in the
Chicago area, and last evening I wrote to them about supplying
wintergreen oil.  <http://www.graphicchemical.com/>  This has
already arrived in my e-mail this morning:  "We used to carry
the wintergreen oil (Methyl salicylate). I will have to check
and see if we still have a source for it, and what the minimum
quantities would be for us to purchase. I suspect that it will
present no problems. As soon as I get some answers, I'll contact
you via e-mail."  

It would be great to have them as a supplier! They are my main
source of ink, tools, paper, and other printmaking supplies.

Subject: [Baren 11001] Website update ... 

With Surimono print #5 finally out of here I've spent the last couple of
evenings putting a new section in my personal website.

This is by popular demand (well actually, it was one person who asked,
but he's pretty popular with me ...), and is a section showing my first
printmaking efforts.  Eh?  Who wants to see _that_ stuff?  Well, nobody
really ... but the progress up the ladder from nowhere to becoming a
professional printmaker might be of some interest ...

Anyway, there it is:

You'll see the new link called 'Where I've Been'

Can you transfer images from a laser printed copy to a board for
cutting?  Or does it have to be an inkjet copy?

Dear Dave

I have just taken your remarkable journey down Memory Lane and believe me,
it was worth the time that it took.

A fantastic story of persistence and love of the process unfolded.

So glad that you gave up the Toy business and gave us the chance to see your
Grand Pursuit!!!!

Do not miss the trip folks, you will come away, inspired!!!!!

Sharen,
You must live where I was raised (such a puny world!). I 
was planning a visit back home last year, prior to taking a 
printmaking class in Little Rock (Arkansas), and thought I 
would get some of my supplies from Graphic Chemical 
while I was there. I asked my professor and he said he 
gets a better price on products made by Graphic Chemical 
from the Renaissance company (on the east coast?). 
Anyway, the reference to wintergreen oil may be moot, but I 
thought the pricing issue was worth mentioning.
best,
Andrea

Dave, I love it!
It is so nice to see your honesty and progression.
Someday, when I have my own site, I hope to do something similar.
Recooperating from root canal by printing, is there something wrong with
that?
Back to the pain pills and the presses.

P.S. thanks for all the advice: sanded the block, changed to some Japanese
rice paper and all seems to be going fine.  Next I'll try that "majic goop"
stuff.

Subject: [Baren 11008] print on ebay 

Hi folks, one of my prints, called "Three Dogs in a Truck" is on auction on ebay - this was a print which I donated to North Shore Animal League, a wonderful organization which adopts out animals and takes care of otherwise "unadoptable" animals, eg ones with major physical problems,etc.  Anyway, if you're interested in having a look you can go to www.nsal.org then click on the ebay icon and it will take you to an ebay page which lists the items which North Shore has on auction.
best wishes
Sarah

Wintergreen oil  [methyl salicylate] available from 
http://www.chemistrystore.com/methyl_salicylate.htm
$12.00 a quart.

You can try to figure out if you want to use it by getting some info at
http://www.scorecard.org/chemical-profiles/summary.tcl?edf_substance_id=119-36

Also at the mtsu message board someone mentioned a citric substitute  assumed 
 to be safer

where would i find wintergreen oil?

The stuff that I use is made hear in Australia
Sunsprit oils P/L, 6 Ti-Tree Place, Byron Bay NSW 2481,  Australia

Health shops and Aromatherapy suppliers stock it.

It's expensive but it goes a long way, it makes the studio smell like a gym
for a few days.
