Hi Mike,
Thanks for getting back with me. This is easy to respond to - I wasn't
sure I was doing it right, but it works great.
It would be fun to do a letter with some artwork around it. I hope we
can request one - I'd love to do 'R' - from my last name.
Anyway, thanks for the paper size info and hope I can start
participating in the exchange.
Does anyone do the other print swap?
:)Jennifer

Exchange #31 could be alphabet. If so we should do upper and lower case
letters, people could do one letter in relation to the order that they are
on the list 26 Upper case and 26 Lower case as an edition of 52. Would be
good to have it as square format... 8"...

Has my interest, Jason E

I vote for an alphabet as well. Bound or unbound is fine by me.

One more vote for alphabet. The coordinator has enough to do without
binding, too. But the spacing and alignment might be specified such that
each individual could bind at his/her leisure.

Alphabet together with the punctuations makes a convenient 30 or 31.
I'm for alphabet.

Subject: [Baren 31889] re: acetate hanshita
Send Message: To this poster

Annie, I have carved through acetate hanshitas and I too used spray adhesive
to stick to the wood. I also found it a bit weird as I lost the feel of the
wood. Glassine worked better for me, adhered with standard wallpaper paste
(cheap wheat paste) and it does not stretch like paper. It does tend to come
off while carving if not stuck really well, though.

After a while I gave up on pasting hanshitas and instead use this method:
-I carve the whole key block first; lacking a key block, the guide block
that contains all the information.
-With that block inked, I use a corner "jig" and place the corner of the
block against the registration jig.
(see http://1000woodcuts.com/Studionotes/registration1.html)
-I tape or pin a sheet of acetate to the registration board guides and print
the key block on the acetate.
-I lift the acetate, remove the key block, place a new block in the jig and
bring down the acetate which then transfer the design onto the new block.
Well, you have to help it by applying pressure, of course; a baren works
best.
-Lift acetate, replace key block, print on acetate. Lift, new block, down,
print, etc. with all your color blocks. You can save the acetate for
reference when adding things on the color blocks that weren't in the key
block.

The main advantage of this method is that you are transferring the _actual
carved key_ to the color blocks and thus registration is perfect to the key,
not to a line that has to be carved in every block. It works with both oil
based inks and water based with a little retarder to allow you time to
transfer the ink. With oil based inks (or roll-relief inks) you really only
have to re-ink the key block once every two or three transfers.
Another advantage is that you can alter the key block once the design is
transferred onto all the color blocks, I usually like to eliminate some
lines to avoid the stained-glass window look. Some of my older multi-color
works were done this way and I never had registration problems.

I hope that made sense, come on over and I'll show you real quick lol

I like the unbound alphabet, too. (additional 4: !?&@) How about
the alphabet featuring trees and nudes? Or is that too racy? I like to
keep everyone happy - LOL

Happy printing,

Dear Murilo...

I love your work, your black & white portraits are very strong (is that
the right word ?) very direct and show human emotion....reminds me a
little bit of the work of your fellow Brazilian printmaker and also baren
member Horacio Neto.

congratulations......Julio Rodriguez (Skokie, Illinois)
