Subject: [Baren 21498] Summiteer Update 

A few more registrations bring the number of "Summiteers" to 25.  Make that 
26 if Bea Gold can make it.  Twenty-seven if we count Steve Goddard who'll 
be dropping in after work once or twice to say "hi".

Last call for registration:  http://www.barenforum.org/summit If you have 
been UNdecided, NOW would be a good to become "decided" and meet moku-hanga 
printers (and wood-bee moku-hanga printers) from the USA, Canada, Italy, 
Japan...  LIVE...  IN PERSON... Together again for the very first time...

Hi everyone, I hope you are all as excited as I am in anticipation of the 
summit!

Just a note, as part of my fine arts photography course students were 
required to complete a nude self portrait before they were allowed to 
photograph nude models hired by the department. That teaches you to 
appreciate the other side of the coin.

Now I have a question, I am working on a few designs to carve before and 
during the summit. I hope to have a simple design completed to attempt to 
print. Mike you had mentioned perhaps being able to buy some supplies there. 
Have you heard if any supplier has confirmed whether they will attend?  While 
I have all the supplies needed to carve blocks, I have no printing supplies.  
I suppose I could order some from Baren mall and have them delivered to 
Kansas city.

What type of suppliers were you thinking of having attend, just so I know who 
may be there.

thanks,

John Furr.

As it stands, the only "supplier" represented will be the Baren Mall, in 
the person of Barbara Mason.  Maybe Barbara will bring some supplies with 
her?  Paper?  Tools?  Colors?  Etc?

Sorry I cannot be there, folks. I am committed to giving two lectures at a 
conference that conflicts. Sounds like a wonderful time ... hopefully I 
will make the next one.

Cheers ...... Charles

Have a wonderful, wonderful time, all of you!
Take notes and pictures and post them for the rest of us who can't be there,
if and as you can...

and enjoy yourselves and one another. I am so happy this is happening... I
go do dance related gathers similar to this, and come away incredibly
enriched and soul-fed.  Kudos to Mike for organizing this!

with all delight,
Ruth Temple

Subject: [Baren 21504] inks 

I have a question - I am in the middle of printing an edition - so far I
have printed two layers of oil based offset litho inks (phew what a
smell). For the 3rd layer I had planned to use a silver seritone ink - a
screen printing ink? I then plan to put another layer of litho ink over
part of the silver. 

The silver has a couple of red flammable stickers on it - it's not water
based. However as it doesn't actually state 'oil based' on the label,
will it be OK to print it over and under oil based litho ink? I just
opened up the lid and all the metallic must be on the bottom somewhere
as it just looks (& smells) like a clear turps based varnish on top.
(Recon I'll wear my mask printing this one).

So my question is can anyone forsee any problems? I'll give it a go
anyway, but I'm hoping the silver will sit on top of the layer beneath
it, and not melt and blend with it. Then again maybe that may look nice.
It looks pretty runny.

The silver is colorjet seritone matching system, metallic, made by
Collie Cooke Consolidated, Australia. 

I also have some old silver powder I fancy sprinkling onto the wet
silver ink. It looks rather grey in the container, but seems to look
fine spread thin. I guess I just sprinkle a bit on, swish it about a bit
& shake off the excess? May-be I should spread nylon stocking over the
top of the container & make a shaker.

Any comments appreciated
Julianne

One never knows...it will be a surprise....but it could be a

to see...... Barbara
