Send Message: To this poster

This is just a gentle reminder. You have only 5 more days to sign up if you want to participate in the 2011 Southern Summer Northern Winter print exchange. This exchange looks like it will be as popular as our last one. At present there are roughly 30 folks who have asked to participate, from a variety of countries.

This is a private exchange, one of a series, timed around the two solstices each year. In past exchanges, participants have come from many different countries, and have utilized many different printmaking techniques. This is NOT an official Baren exchange, although many Baren members have participated in these exchanges in the past. I have attached the call for participation below, which contains all the relevant details. If you have any questions, then feel free to contact me off list.
Cheers ...... Charles

On to the next project.  No rest for the over-extended.

I've been mulling over my block for the City of the World Puzzle Block Project:  http://www.1000woodcuts.com/projects/cityoftheworld/index.html, Maria Arango's latest massively collective project (talk about over-extended!).  ;- j

Check out this blog and see all the amazing blocks that have come in already:  http://puzzleprints.blogspot.com/

I thought I might do something with my animals, or my back yard, but nothing suitably city-y occured to me (the fact that I live in a suburb might have something to do with it).

So recently I've been thinking about pigeons.  They're ubiquitous in a city -- even a suburb.  (On good days we call them doves; when they're fat and waddly from eating other birds' feed we call them pigeons.)

I've got a couple ideas I'm cogitating on, and soon I'll be carving on.  The deadline approaches and tempus threatens to frangle.
