Welcome to Baren, Louise.  If it's your wish to learn about woodblock 
printmaking, you are in the right place.  We have some knowledgeable 
people who hang out here and all you have to do is ask a question (or 
consult the encyclopedia) and you will be amazed at what you can find out!  

You asked if any Bareners are sending a print--yes,  I have a print 
packaged and ready to mail to the Print Alliance project.  You certainly 
do have to copy out (or read them with care) all the instructions as 
there are specifics that must be met (such as a catalogue number on the 
back of your print, and an enclosed dollar, etc), so if people are 
sending a print, please read all the instructions at the Print Alliance 
website 
http://www.printalliance.org/exhibits/sept_11_memorial/memorial_portfolio.html
and I hope I didn't forget anything when I packed my print.

Louise, welcome to the group. Just wanted to let you know that in addition
to cleaning up with baby oil, which is relatively expensive, you can also
use whatever vegetable oil happens to be on sale. Also, clean up after the
oil with rubbing alcohol - it cuts the grease in an instant. I keep a bottle
of alcohol velcroed to the side of the press for getting those inevitable,
no matter how careful you are,  smudges off the bed. Because I'm inherently
lazy, I put a push-pull cap off of a detergent bottle on the alcohol bottles
so I can just pop the top and squirt the juice. Printmaking is labor
intensive enough without making it more so. However, if you REALLY want to
work you can always do hanga :>)

Subject: [Baren 16794] Print Alliance Memorial Portfolio

Hi printmakers,
Here I am again, harassing you! We really need prints for the American Print
Alliance Memorial, one 8x10 vertical print that celebrates one life lost in
the 9/11/01 tragedy. So far I have only 4 from our group of over 200
artists. See
http://www.printalliance.org/exhibits/sept_11_memorial/memorial_portfolio.ht
ml for more information. Send your form, $1 and print to me and I will scan
it, package it and send it on to the Alliance. This is an oppportunity to be
part of an important memorial tribute and it only takes one print. I am sure
you have one already done you can use if you think about it.
Send to
Barbara Mason
4440 SW 198th
Aloha OR 97007
This exhibit will travel around the US, get lots of press and eventually
find a home in an impressive institution, so you are missing an opportunity
here if you do not send a print. This could be your mother talking ......
Best to everyone,
Barbara

Ld,
Go to http://www.printalliance.com and click on memorial portfolio. It
needs to be 8x10 vertical and any print media is acceptable. Send to me with
downloaded form and $1 for the packaging. The link I gave might have been
too long, sometimes the browser cuts part of it out and it won't work.
Best to you,
Barbara
