Julio,

And your Rant has what to do with Woodblock discussion?

Anyways,

Anyone know of WOODBLOCK or other Printmaking in Germany?  Will be in Berlin
over Christmas and would love to see what is going on there.

Thanks,

Pete Walls

"Printed here in Oregon it is available for distribution if anyone sets up
an exhibit. If you just want a few copies for yourself, let me know and I
will send them."

Actually, if the digital file of the brochure were converted to pdf, you
could then email it to requestors and they could print it out themselves
from their jet printer.  This would save baren $$$ in printing and shipping
them!  Patti P-C

Subject: [Baren 19195] fireman prints 

To all who have a copy of the fireman prints,
Steve Goddard at the Spencer Museum in Lawrence Kansas did ask about having
an archive copy, but I told him they were in theory all to be sold and it
was not a usual exchange. Since it looks like they are not all going to be
sold,  we can send him a copy for the archives if anyone is willing to give
up their portfolio. Mine went to Tyrus Clutter for exhibit in Nampa Idaho at
his school but there must be others out there looking for a home. I will be
happy to send mine, but it was not complete as a couple of prints were
missing when I received it. So if anyone has a complete set and would like
to send it to the Spencer, lets do so.
The oportunity to be included in the NY Public Library collection was such a
wonderful thing, I am so pleased that this happened and it makes me sorry I
did not push to send Steve a copy for our archives when he asked about it
months ago.
Best to all,
Barbara

Subject: [Baren 19196] brochures  

Patti,
Yes, except that we have 2500 that were printed by a commercial printer
sitting in the box here ready to go, and the file for printing them out is
huge....so just send an address and I will send you some if you need them!
Best to all,
Barbara

Subject: [Baren 19197] 14 and 14a 

Dear Darrell Madis and Marilynn Smith,

Today put 14 &14a in the mail.
3 Months seems like a long time at the 
beginning but it isn't long at all.
 
Usually I let a piece of work lay around 
for several months before deciding if
it is presentable.

My computer seems a bit out of sorts
as I can't seem to sign in to Yahoo and
eBay properly so messages to the 14
forum all came back undelivered. So I 
will ask here. I'm not sure what the
rates for sending back the exchanges 
will be so please inform and I will send
a check ASAP.

Best wishes and much appreciation

G.Jarvis

Subject: [Baren 19198] unwell posts/acacia blocks 

I think that the Baren response
 of-  no response-
 to  what i would term "unwell posts"
from anybody
is  the best and most productive response

it is sometimes rather bizarre to read the digest
 of three or more different trains of thought going at once
 and try to thread thru it all


anyway getting back to the round, half inch blocks,
 of acacia
that i am working with
they are sidegrain planks-  planed and cut to be circles of approx 10"
with a routed groove  just in from the outer edge on one side
so thats a fairly large tree that  this block has come from

 it is a deep chocolate brown wood
very attractive
with open grain

from looking at all the google images on ACACIA,
and from many of your posts in response,
i have a better appreciation
 of the
Tree Acacia

it is everywhere

very symbolic and recognizable image

the tree the cheetahs are always hanging around
on that  PBS Nature show

i am going to carve the male kestrel now
 in the second block
so they'll be a set

(I agree with Gillyin about the posting.)

One of the spectacular parts of the WEN gathering at the
Hamilton Type Museum in Two Rivers, WI, this summer was seeing
(many) dollies full of hard maple, cut in type-high polished
slices, then restacked so they looked like trees   that had gone
through a butter slicer!  Hard to breathe--seeing all of that
'possibility'!

Subject: [Baren 19200] Writing 


I think there's a lot of us that are getting upset about
what is posted here at this group. The truth is that
venting is a necessary thing, otherwise an explosion
would take place. I did some venting way back when I
first joined. A publisher wanted some FREE work from
some of the members. I thought anybody that gives their
work away had a bolt loose. I being one of the few
members that try and earn a living from these same
publishers. So give the people a break that do vent from
time to time. It's not so much to put up with, and it is
one of the hazards of being in a group.

The Spencer Museum is a fine collection with lots of fine and rare books.
I'd encourage the gift.
