Good Morning Baren Forum....

It has come to our attention that some prices are actually going down after December 1st...20%
Hard to believe but true...

It applies to these knives
http://www.barenforum.org/mall/products/michi.php

and to the two sosaku brushes on this page, (which Dave says are good)
http://www.barenforum.org/mall/products/maru_bake.php

So a little good news to offset the rising prices in all of our lives

Our best to you all from

Good work, Olek !

I like the energy and the flow of your drypoints very much.

The colour production on your woodblocks is also impressive. (Soot and ash, indeed!)

As you, I am very taken with the human figure in art......your work inspires!

OK, before I can tell you about today's WONDERFUL events, you have to get up-to-date on something that happened back in the autumn of 2003. This page (from October 2003) on the Studio Construction section of the site will do that ... I'll wait here while you go read it ... :-)

The duct didn't work. As I wrote on a subsequent page back then: "The air duct was not so successful; it did pull a stream of air from the warm attic, but 12 meters is a _long_ way, and very little of the warmth made it to the bottom of the pipe. And what was worse, because the lower room was so cold, any moisture in that warmish air instantly condensed at the mouth of the pipe, and the room became damp. Cold is OK ... cold and damp is unbearable. So it stayed off. Perhaps in the future, once this room is properly insulated, thus negating the large temperature differential, it will be possible to move the air around without the condensation problem ... we'll have to wait and see."

Did you notice that phrase 'perhaps in the future'? Well, the future is here!

The basic reason for the failure of the original project had been the weakness of the fan that I had used. I should perhaps have searched for a stronger one, but the additional problem with the condensation - not to mention the lack of insulation in the lower room - combined to . . .

A bigger view of the block this time if you click on it, so you can get a feel for the cuts. I'm loving the swish and foam of the water but having to take the cutting cautiously as I don't want to lose the light and texture.
