Positively whimsical -- odd, charming, maybe a little bit disturbing, the
work is fluid and fluent -- CONGRATULATIONS and WOW!!!!

Sarah...

What wonderful humor. I'm only sorry I can't see them up close and
personal. What a great imagination. I wish I could visit inside your
head...

Sarah, Thanks for the link to see some of your installation pieces.
Very nice work! Very imaginative and I love them too for their humour -
which we all need more of in our lives.

My Congrats also go out to April and Ray. Wish I could visit everyone's
exhibits. Maybe when I retire, I'll visit Baren houses and shows on my
motorcycle :)

This note goes to Matt Laine regarding paste - I've used all three
options (homemade rice paste, methyl cellulose, and Nori tube paste) and
don't have any complaints about either. The nori tube paste seems the
handiest, especially at workshops. I keep my homemade rice flour paste
in my fridge and its never molded. As someone said, you don't need much
of the methyl cellulose powder to mix a small batch. I use 1/4 teaspoon
to about 2 tablespoons water and let it set overnight. Enjoy
experiementing.

The discussion over the use of tools in woodblock is interesting. We
all do what intrigues us and what is comfortable to achieve beautiful
art and prints. Different woods, cutting tools, sharpening devices,
inks, binders, papers, presses, presentation :) Just as many ideas and
likes as there are chili recipes!

Bette.

Congrats to Ray,, Mike, April( alphabetical order)

What fun, Sarah. What next? Thanks for sharing.

Good Luck to all and goodness gracious!

And to add to the paste discussion, I see buried in my notes-- Savior Faire (
Lascaux), instead of rice paste.

Sarah,
Your work is always a delight! It looks like a wonderful show and
makes me wish I lived on the other coast. A few years ago I made
postcards from some ink drawings from my sketchbook. They were of
things like Fish Wife, House Wife, Headda Hopper (woman's head on
grasshopper body, etc.) - maybe that's why I love your work so much?
LOL

Happy Printing,
Sharri
