Hmm, they both look good, but with the print color then the color
sinks into the paper more and meshes with the Sumi more....Sweet
wedding present!

My little corner of the Moku Hanga wood has arrived in Dorset. Thank you to everyone for their tree, and especially to the co-ordinator. It is so good to handle each print and gain a lesson in paper types and inks. The collection is an education in itself. If you ever do a moku hanga one again, count me in. One question, how do you all manage to produce such 'clean' prints, with no splodges in the edges etc?

Just a comment on font sizes... I can't read Le's comment because it's way too small. Is there a way I can make it bigger?

Your computer manual will tell you how to enlarge anything on your
screen.
Don't know why some messages are sent so miniature.

You make a good point Diane

All mail application have a button that makes font a bigger size.
The sender has control over this, and the receiver can adjust the sizes

I suggest that if you are a sender you consider changing the default
in the font preference to read....
Verdana 14 or ... 15 (that is what this is).
I note that Le’s is 10 pt Monaco... and Julio’s reply is in 12 pt
Helvetica....
Both are very hard to read.... particularly Helvetica which so
condensed making it very hard to read.as illustrated. It is the pt
size that should be at least 14 pt making most fonts readable.

To increase the size of font in a e-mail there will possibly be a
button in the menu bar that sez “Large Smaller“. If not go to the
menu of your mail program and look for Customize Toolbar. In there
you can drag and dropo the button you want to your e-mail window and
voila ... your in business to change the font size....

If anyone with a Mac has problems with this send me an e-mail and I
will help you.
Sorry I do not work with the windoz dinosaur computer. (

Thank you to all for the font sizing information (David, Graham, Elizabeth, and dear Julio, for making his message larger)...

You've all graciously made me smarter. I learned something new, mainly that the ability and information was there all along. I appreciate the guidance from all of you... I can see again!!! LOL LOL

For those of you who have Mozilla Firefox yahoo mail, there's a 'zoom' feature under the 'View' tab. Who knew?!? I will go to my corner and read and will never complain again about font sizes!!!

Send Message: To this poster

Hi!., I am hoping for a Baren meet up in Chicago.. sounds great, there were 2 suggestions. Lets try to meet both times? Please help me out, though. I have “face blindness”, where a person has trouble recognizing
people that they know. It has been a little better lately, but can be so bad I can’t
recognize my own daughter (she will be around to testify to this!) Please let me know who you are, and please do not take offense if
I do not recognize you shortly thereafter…
especially if you change clothes or we move to a different room. Claudia g. coonensuggested: meet in what ever is the back right corner at 9:30

at the Complimentary Coffee and Pastries

Location: Columbia College, Hokin Gallery, 623 S. Wabash Ave, 1st floor

Date: Thursday, March 26, Time: 9 am - Noon

AND
Lester made another meeting suggestion:

to get together just before the Satisfaction
Town event on Thursday March 27, 2009? It starts at 5pm and goes to

8pm in Columbia College's Conaway Center, 1104 South Wabash Ave, ground

floor?
Below are the Bareners I saw coming in the digest that will be at the conference. I Anyone else?
Lester, Sharen, Mike, Karma, Dean, John, Angee, Joseph, Julio, Claudia, & me (Le)

Your OX card arrived here a week ago, thank you very much!
Thanks also for the Making a Mark URL, some interesting info there for sure.

My OX will meander over to your place sometime (not soon)!

And enjoy the southern sun.
