If you aren't in Exchange #7 and you're feeling down 'cause ain't no prints
coming your way, then send a few off to the Swap Shop!
James would love to see a few more packages and the Swap Shop Gallery is a
little skimpy, so step on it.
Give yourself or a friend the best Christmas present ever!  Think of it, an
original print.  Wow!

Hello Everyone,
I have returned from the Olympic Games in Sydney - sitting next to the 
resting place of the burning cauldron at the Opening Ceremony (next to 
the waterfall) with other past Olympic Families and sat under the Sydney 
Harbour Bridge at the Closing Ceremony. Wow..it was spectacular. This 
would have been the very best time to visit Sydney - everyone was so 
friendly and Stranger Danger went right out the window.

I met my Sydney counterparts from Baren and Print Australia - Josephine, 
Gerald and Anthea and feel now that my emails have more depth and 
meaning.  When are we going to have a Baren "Get together"?  I have just 
caught up on individual emails and read Baren Digests from 1143 to 1194 - 
that took a few days!!!

I saw Australian, Margaret Preston's hand coloured woodblock Exhibition 
at the Art Gallery of NSW and have tonight returned from Lionel Lindsay's 
(1874-1961) (wood engravings and a few etchings - 106 prints in all) 
Exhibition Opening at the Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery at the University 
of Western Australia.  Andy English, Maria and Bob Mandel and other 
Bareners, you would love to see these original works. It is open till 
December if you book your flights now you will have plenty of time to see 
it several times!  The work is so fine and intricate and the ink 
application so even and dense it is beautiful.  I have an original 
Morning Glory (The White Peacock) 1932 on my bedroom wall so I have a 
particular interest although I haven't tried engraving in wood, only 
perspex.

Last night was our Prize Night for the Calligraphers' Guild of WA which 
was sponsored at the WA Art Gallery by Mr Haruhisa Handa, a Japanese 
sponsor of the Arts (Music, Calligraphy and Blind Golf to name just a 
few). Three woodblocks of my "Great Aussie Flag Debate" Series with the 
national anthems calligraphed over them won third prize in the Open 
Section.  I was stoked...not boasting...just overjoyed...Being the lone 
Barener in WA I had no one else to post my win!!!  The woodblock consists 
of linear Australian symbols that have been "surfacing" for a "new" 
Australian flag design for several years and this linear woodblock (took 
me 31 hours to carve) I have coloured in different sections of symbols in 
watercolour and written our past anthem "God Save the Queen" on one and 
our "Advance Australia Fair" on other prints, so that each woodblock 
print in the series varies with the mixed media superimposed.  Hiroshi 
Tomihari has recently taken one into his collection at his gallery in 
Oyama, Japan.  The woodblock size is A3 (30x45cm) but the calligraphy 
often extends beyond that size. I have been combining Woodblocks and 
calligraphy for some time, but it isn't easy to combine them for Baren 
Exchanges!!

Thank you for my Exchange #6 prints...the smaller format was fun to work 
with (especially at such short notice). Each time the quality of work 
really surpasses the one before. Well done everyone.  I am anxiously 
awaiting #7 Comedy of life now.

Jan

It is hard to keep up with all the info! Kat, thanks for sending your link
again, nice page, I did get through this time. Good luck with your
printing, I am so glad you are stuck on HANGA!

I had a great visit from a young printmaker Huyn Yung, who had studied
hanga woodcut with Keji Shinohara at Weslyan U in MA...or is it CT? Anyway,
it was a pleasure to meet her, and hear about his approach to woodcut. He
learned in Japan and then moved to the States years ago. He is one of the
few people teaching woodcut here. He also teaches various workshops, and
prints for artists. Anybody else know him?

Hyun Yung and I worked on printing my Mineature Print as a benefit for the
Lower East Side Printshop. Anyone who wants to see it can visit the
Printshop at 59-60 East 4th St, NYC for their open studio December 9.

I also enjoyed the various points of view on selling work...Maria, I do
hope to to go the SGC meeting in Austin this March. What are you scheming?
How much money and how many prints do you want?

Say whhhhhhhaaaat?
I'm no schemer! :-)
I just thought some Bareners could get together in Austin for pizza and beer
and a good "live" chat in the flesh in between those invigorating
printmaking sessions. We'll try to keep you away from the Karaoke.
Money? Never touch the nasty stuff.
Prints? Now them I snort like an addict.

Dear Jean E,

I think you got me mixed up with Cate Pfeifer, she is interested in chops 
too.  The chops that I came across are all blanks, the tops of the chops 
however have Chinese zodiac animals carved.

Dan Dew, your web site is very nice. The format is very functional.  Good 
Job!

Well since it's not until 3/2001 I can say I'd love to go.  We have not made
three out of the last three trips because of some health problem but maybe
this one....  Anyway, I'll be happy to plan to go.  Keep going Maria.

Wow, people are really including a lot of stuff they didn't really mean to
quote.  I was dreading the backlog in my mailbox and discovered most of it
was repetition.  Good discussion on pricing and sales, though!

Roy, check out http://Members.aol.com/WENET/home.html   - for more on "white
