Look at this, an offer to show the portfolio of benefit prints in South Africa.
I am so pleased that our project is taking on international momentum. Selling
this work world wide will be so heart warming, especially since we are an
international organization.
Thank you Kalle, for making this connection for us!
My best to everyone
Barbara

Subject: Getting Ready to Carve
Posted by: Ellen Shipley

Paper and wood ordered from McClains.  Birch block sanded and stained.  Rough cartoon, but good to go.  If it's all worked out ahead of time I get bored.  The fun is in the carving.  Getting ready to have fun.  ;-]

Subject: Shina Kimono
Posted by: Andrew Stone


Well, I meant to include this photo in the last post but didn't have my camera and the sketch was too big for my scanner. This is about a 11" X 16" board of Shina Plywood (a kind of Japanese Linden or Basswood). I have three of these for a total of six plates.

This is the almost finished keyblock for my effort for the Japan Relief print--if I can get it done in time.
There's still to fix a few slips/lost lines and I have to carve the 4-5 color blocks that should go with this but this should be the bulk of the carving work.

I'll be quiet for a while as I do need to work and I still have some details not quite worked out.

I doubt this will offend anybody who isn't already aghast at what I was thinking before.
The real fear now is that it won't be interesting.
