Hey to all,
        I'm not new to Baren but have been offline for quite
a while.  Only recently have I got back on, and it's
great to be reading messages from Baren again! 
Everyone is still busy as usual, chatting, chiding,
debating.......  
        I plan to participate in the next exchange, opening
up in a couple of days.  
        I'm posting today mainly to assist one of my students
in locating printmaking Harvey Ball.  I don't think he
is a member of Baren but with such diverse
backgrounds, I thought one of you would know his email
address, at least.  My student saw his prints in a
book I had, and she wants to contact him regarding his
subject matter.  Thanks in advance.
        I missed the SGC conference.  Did anyone attend and
can you give me a compressed synopsis?

Thanks much

Kim Medina

Subject: [Baren 14086] paper for big prints 

Noreen, why don't you try Stonehenge paper?  I've used it for big prints, and 
it works pretty well, as it's a stiffer paper and doesn't dip into the 
non-printing areas.  It comes in a variety of sizes (including VERY big!) and 
is very cheap.  You'll have to press very hard w/your baren - if you can get 
a ball bearing baren, you'd have a much easier time.  You might also try 
Hanga-shi paper from Hiromi, I think it comes pretty big but I'm not sure.  
good luck
Sarah

Jeanne,

I doubt there is much you can do to make your oil painting pigments into
relief inks, however - have you thought about doing a monotype using your
oil pigments, and printing your block over it?  Works great and you can get
some really awesome results. You can print your block onto a piece of
acetate and then reverse it under your plexi, that you do the monotype on,
so everything will be going the same direction.  I think that is
understandable, but if not - let me know and I'll try again :>)

Happy printing,
Sharri
