This is not wood block stuff but rather about artists.  I had a bad 
experience with an "artist" up in todos santos.  He made a comment that was 
obviously full of jealousy for another artist (dear friend 80 year old 
Charles Stewart).  I was appalled.  My very American girl friend is 
representing the jealous artist, so that it brings me close to the 
situation.  I told her he is jealous and pompous and she said all artists 
are like that!  I said they most certainly are not.  In my experience 
artists are the most giving and generous people I have ever had the pleasure 
of knowing.  It is most apparant with those on this list.  The generosity 
never ceases to amaze me and for every person who has given any money or 
free time to this list my thanks to each of you.  I learned a bit about 
those in the background when I coordinated and Barbara, you might get busy 
and knee deep in stuff and ooops not all is perfect but you work so hard for 
all of us and Mike was there for me in every way.  I know there are others 
out there lending a willing and helpful hand. THANK YOU
Marilynn Smith

I just ordered some paper from the Baren Mall.  I must say that the shopping
cart is working really well.  I was able to do some cost comparisons very
easily with the one you have there.

My apologies to the list for such a long post yesterday....sometimes you 
get to writing and is hard to know when to stop.
Short post {;-)

I did want to mention a few other folks who I missed yesterday and who 
have given so much of their time and efforts....

John Center, Carol Lyons, Sharen Linder, Dan Dew, Tyrus Clutter and Georga 
Garside for their generous work on the 911-Firemen's project and wonderful 
exhibits.

Dean Clark of Graphic Chemical for his paper donations to the group. 

Rudolph Stalder and Sharri LaPierre who ran the large prints exchange 
(LPE) and are now organizing LPE II.

Gayle Wohlken, Dan Dew, Gregory Robison & Barbara Mason for taking on 
Baren exchange exhibits in the past year
or so. 

All the exchange coordinators and council members for giving their time 
and efforts and keeping everything running smooth behind the scenes.


I am sure I am forgetting someone, there are many more whose names deserve 
recognition....but then this would become another long post {;-)  ..... 
thanks to all those who have given back to the group in one way or another 
during
 the last five years.

Hi printmakers,

There is a new page on the mall with a new baren maker. Please go
to http://barenforum.org/mall/products/hon_baren.html to read
about Kikuhide-san's wonderful handmade barens. These are
slightly more than our last baren maker in price, but are
excellent barens. Dave Just recently visited him and took these
photos. Kikuhide-san has actually been with us since the
beginning making the Murasaki barens and preparing the 'ategami'
sheet that we carry. We will no longer be carrying the barens
made by Gosho-san.

Anyone who has asked about delivery, please contact me off list
and I will be able to give you dates for specific types of
barens.

Best to all,

Barbara - mall manager
