Barbara, "The Solarplate Revolution"! Love the name of that show.  You have to let 
me know where/when that will be in case I am able to make it there.
As for exhibition in Bulgaria, the exhibition that Carol may have located 
on my resume in Bulgaria was indeed from one of the exchanges, I can't 
remember which one at the moment.

Happy printing!

 Sorry
My last posting (yesterday's digest) was mistakenly sent to Baren 
instead of off-line to Arafat.

Subject: [Baren 19898] Fw: Dublin Workshop 

GREETING FROM A SMALL PERSON;)

Is anyone taking the workshop in Dublin.
I thought it would be fun to experience a balmy 4 or 5 days in Ohio in 
Febrrruary.
I was worried about taking my tools on the trip. I hate taking anything 
but carry-on but travel with woodcut tools!???
Anyone done it?
Maybe I could ship them??

Thanks
Robert

Dear Georgia, 

Thanks!  The paint job actually looks better in person - the walls just
glow. It took many coats of glazing to get that look, and I got better
room-by-room.  Definitely on-the-job training!  Everyone's nice words
makes me feel a bit less guilty about falling so far behind in my artwork!

Dear Julio,

Sounds good!  Why so far out though?  The weather is wonderful in
September, sunny and 70's every day.  Actually, it is sunny nearly every
single day all year round. NM is supposed to be the sunniest state - with
Florida being number two, but I guess that varies depending on which
report you read.  The winter temps stay around 50 during the day.  Quite a
nice change from SD.

Someday in the future we will have to do a printmaking/Baren get together
here.  Such a history of printmaking!  And Santa Fe now has more artists
and galleries than NYC and is supposed to be the number 1 arts city in the
US, with Albuquerque being number 4.  But, surprisingly there does not
seem to be much action in the way of woodcuts.  I have seen lots of lithos
(Tamarind, of course), screenprints, and some etchings, but not much in
the way of woodcuts.  But, I am only just beginning to examine the arts
scene - having only been here a few months and being so busy the whole
time.

Hi Robert and all

I'm planning on taking the workshop in Dublin, Ohio!  I'm in driving
distance so no worries here about my tools.  I know alot of Bareners have
loads of experience with traveling with their tools.  Maybe they can post
some tips.  I'm especially fond of FedEx, so I would ship with them!

Subject: [Baren 19901] color perception 

This article appeared in today's Vancouver Sun (Nov. 19, 2002), p. A20.

Why sunniest spots may not seem blue

Many languages have no specific word for the colour blue and
do not distinguish between blue and green. Now, researchers think
they may know why: High levels of ultraviolet B (UVB) exposure
damage the eye in these countries, making many adults unable to
perceive blue.

Delwin Lindsey and Angela Brown of Ohio State University
reviewed 203 languages from around the world and levels of
ultraviolet B, which rise closer to the equator, according to the
November issue of Psychological Science. UVB can speed aging of
parts of the eye to make it less able to distinguish blue from green.
In areas with low levels of UVB, languages tended to have a
word for blue while areas with high levels tended not to, the
researchers found. In addition, an experiment in the laboratory found
that subjects tended to have difficulty recognizing blue when looking
through a lens that simulated an eye that has been exposed to high
levels of UVB.
