I don't want anyone to take their name from the list!! (I'm greedy and I want beautiful art to come my way and I'm fine with waiting ;) I sure don't mind if recipients would like to wait until my print reaches them before sending one to me...I'll do my best to send mine out together and on time.

Two Carols, maybe three, are writing about similar situations and people
are answering to composite Carols.
Amusing, but it would help if last names were used.

Thank you for all you people do!!

Happy Holidays

Send Message: To this poster

This is not a printing question.
I have an artist friend who is looking for a printmaker by the name of Stephen White. If anyone knows of him it would be so nice to let me know so I can relay the information to my friend.
He is a woodblock printmaker.

Hi Katie,

I like your chop. I have an icon I carve into all my work that I use as a
chop. If I were to make myself a separate chop tho, what exactly does it
signify? How is it determined? Would I just use my initial icon that I'm
using now?

Thanx to anyone for the info.

Ellen

I came across a print by this guy by accident and a google search led me
to the Hawaiian gallery from which his prints are sold...check it
out...very reasonable prices...nice work ! (sorry for the long link)

http://www.volcanoartcenter.org/cgi-bin/vac?!2ivTvnC9r5Abuor11jObn5aTKd3XRmAoTgaA1eObn27dOrdmffEuoEmCnAd603or8O2nT1gSagmHIAn1r97r80bXfrgUnAmBnGbO0verOCCYRmgsufeTmj0ar27hOfbmT4nTuifT160cr5v0OrdmfaEqNfmEm3C103or8n2mTmrSadmHIAn4ravTvn2IT4gaN5ern4CZever8nbna2fTN2

Dietrich Varez came to Hawai'i at age 8, when his mother married his
stepfather Manuel Varez. After the war-torn Germany he'd known, it was
love at first sight, and his romance with Hawai'i still grows. Shunning
publicity and working in the simplest possible fashion with linoleum
blocks, Varez continually shapes his strong personal expression of
Hawai'i. By nature a quiet and retiring man, he lives with his wife Linda
(a noted painter) in a remote rain forest setting near Volcano Village on
the Big Island. Isolated by several miles of bad road, he is able to
maintain the tranquility he desires for his work. Only in the last few
years has he been persuaded to put in a telephone. The Hawai'i of
old--when spirits inhabited every tree and stone, and gods walked the
earth--is Dietrich's inspiration. His work boldly traces the adventures
and passions of a cast of mythical characters he has carefully researched
in legend. He lovingly and faithfully depicts Hawaiians practicing the
arts, skills, and values of old Hawai'i. The Dietrich Varez catalog
contains a wealth of knowledge and could be called "Old Hawai'i
Illustrated." For many years, Dietrich worked as a bartender and did his
art only in his off-hours. Initially he carved bas-reliefs and gave them
away to friends. "But," he says, "that got out of hand, so I carved a
woodcut and found I could print lots of copies." In 1974, when the Volcano
Art Center Gallery first put his prints on sale for $2 each and sold seven
in the first month, his life as a full-time artist began. The Gallery now
carries over 140 Varez prints and has sold hundreds of thousands of them.
After all these years, Dietrich still personally prints and signs each
image by hand, still refuses to number his prints, and still maintains his
reasonable prices.

I see that you are one of the 14 people that joined the flickr
printmaking community that I made two months ago and forgot about it!
Too funny! I finally posted some of my own work there just now.

I am adding you to my flickr account too.

Greetings, Baren folk~

Is it okay to have paper sized 4.25" x 5.5" for the Year of the Dog exchange?

Thanks so much,

Subject: [Baren 29617] rooster and monkey prints
Send Message: To this poster

I have just read apologies from Baren members regarding their chinese
horoscope prints, rooster or monkey prints... and complaints from those
who never received some prints... I am one of those who signed up for
this kind of exchange (which i love!) from the very beginning (the
dragon) and always sent my prints except for the monkey which I will be
doing in 2006 - 2 years late ... I know.... but this and last year have
been extra busy for me. My rooster is made (a little late??) and will
be mailed in a few days, when I go to nyc (it is cheaper to send from
the us, rather than from Italy)
Sorry for all those who were waiting
for my wishing-happy-new-year card, but although I was late, the cards
will be out soon... and monkey cards will be made with the dog and
mailed together!
Happy Holidays
