Subject: [Baren 43123] set of Japanese Prints for Prints for Peace
Send Message: To this poster

Dear Barbara. I am sorry I mislead your hopes.
When I said I wanted a set of prints for Prints for Peace it means for me personally.
Prints for Peace is a nonprofit independent organization funded solely by personal funds from my husband and myself.

We do not receive (nor plan to receive) any money nor from the government nor from the Church.
We do not sell the prints we just lend them to be exhibited for educational or peace events.

I wanted to buy a set because I have started before the Sunami to organizing
our Prints for Peace 2012 and the invited country is Japan.

What about if we want to send the complete 60 prints as a contribution?

I cannot afford a set of prints at these prices. Maybe I can exhibit some photos instead.
We are giving the invited country more space at the gallery and the publication of their peace message.

Any other thing I can do for the project let me know.
Saludos, Guadalupe

Subject: [Baren 43125] Exchange 49 and the Tsunami Relief Project
Send Message: To this poster

Dear Bareners--
Baren is such a great organization! We are all concerned and compassionate world citizens, trying to help make a difference in the lives of those who have suffered great losses and who must now rebuild their lives, in Japan. I encourage all who are able to participate in the Tsunami Relief Project.
To that end, I'd like to announce that Exchange 49 has been pushed back one month in order to accommodate the additional work load of those who are participating in the Tsunami Relief and planning to participate in Ex. 49 as well.
The sign up page for Exchange 49 will be activated Wednesday, April 6th, for those wanting to be sure to hold their space, and will remain open through May. The due date for completed prints will be extended to September 1st instead of August 1st, which should allow all to complete both projects.

(Ex. 50 will go ahead as scheduled with sign up beginning July 1, 2011.)

Thanks to all of you for your efforts in supporting both the Tsunami Project and the Exchange Program!
Kristine

Annie Fitt,

My sharpening woes ended when I bought the motorized sharpening device
Richard Steiner was advocating one year when he was here doing a
workshop for PAN. I believe that McClains's still sells it or
something similar. It is expensive, but probably not so much if you
are having to pay someone else to sharpen your tools for you. It is
well worth the price in time and anguish saved. I'm speaking from the
wood tools side, so lino tools could be different, but I doubt it.

Cheers ~
Sharri

I saw this device when visiting with Richard in Kyoto....
It is a neat tool and will sharpen all kinds of knives and tools be it moku hanga or lino.
I could not justify the cost when I was able to learn through practice to sharpen tools equally as well as the power stone Richard uses.

Five bucks is about the cost of materials; it probably would be more
efficient just to send the $$$ to Japan. But I would go with the majority
vote.

Subject: [Baren 43131] Time travel in woodblock prints!
Send Message: To this poster

If you've been to Tokyo anytime in the past few months, you can't have
missed seeing the new Tokyo Sky Tree. The tower is not quite finished,
but is already the world's tallest tower (and second highest structure
after the Burj Khalifa). What's that got to do with woodblock
printmaking?

"A tower resembling Tokyo Sky Tree -- the world's tallest broadcasting
tower currently under construction in Tokyo's Sumida Ward -- has been
found depicted on a landscape ukiyo-e woodblock print from the mid-19th
century."

Take a look!
