Hi Janet,

You can also buy it [Saral paper]  at Renaissance Graphic Arts and at Dick Blick Art
Supplies.  I bought a red roll for about 10 bucks.  Renaissance's site is at

John, 

You fit your name well, you are so clever, I would have never thought of
your method. I bet you produce some very dramatic work!  I can't wait to try
it out for myself, it sounds like so much fun!  Makes me want to abandon the
block I'm currently carving and start again...

I've printed blocks with acrylic paint in the past, I've had no problems as
long as I've cleaned the block several times with soap and water during the
printing.  Straight from the tube a good acrylic paint will be just the
right tackiness to roll.  Even the cheaper Liquitex Basics roll ok for test
prints and teaching grade school kids, but don't try to mix them, they muddy
real fast!

The idea some of the baraners had of varnishing the block to cancel it is
also a great idea, I've wanted to find a way to preserve the relief without
it being printable.  I'm acquainted with a blind lawyer who loves my blocks.
He says it's the only way left for him to enjoy art.
