Send Message: To this poster

Happy New Year, everyone! Thanks for all your advice, examples, and
enthusiasm. I mostly lurk and read, but I do appreciate all the
discussion and insights very much. In the Year of the Rabbit, I hope
to do more printing (but my calendar for other art is getting full, so
that may be unrealistic). I taught my daughter the basics of moku
hanga over her Christmas break from art college, and she loved it!
Now I'm determined to finish a couple of half-done projects, and have
signed up for the New Year's card exchange. She encouraged me, so I'm
going to let her help - addressing all the envelopes!

Wishing you all good printing in the new year.
Jane Cloutier

Stone Rabbit? I thought we were approaching the Metal Rabbit Year! (ha-ha)

Thank you, Dave, for the New Year's surprise!

Namaste,

Subject: [Baren 42581] Exchange 48 Theme and Sign-up
Send Message: To this poster

Hi All!
Thanks to those of you who responded both on the list and off-list to the query about a theme for this exchange. From those who responded we came up with the following ideas: Mythology, Where I Live (regional), Home, Botanicals, Myths and Legends, and Around the Corner. Mythology was the unquestionable favorite, without it being put out there for an official vote, so as manager, I declare the theme for this exchange to be Mythology, which includes myths and legends from every culture both ancient and modern throughout the world. What a feast of ideas this one will conjure!

Sign-ups officially begin in just a few hours. Ready! Set! Go!
