Re: the recent postings about removing mold spots on prints ...

Those of you who are also on the 'PrintsL' mailing list know that a
wide-ranging discussion on this topic was conducted there a few months
ago.  With the permission of the PrintsL list owner, Mr. Steven Goddard,
most of the 'meat' of that discussion has now been clipped and assembled
into a page in our Encyclopedia.

http://www.woodblock.com/encyclopedia/updates.html

So before making any further postings here about this topic, please
refer to that page for an 'update' on some current thinking  (not that
they came to any firm conclusions on the best procedures to follow ...)

***

A couple of small administrative notes ...

The mailing list server has been a bit 'quirky' lately, sending out some
messages twice.  The staff at Asahi-net tells me that they are 'working
on it'; please just use your 'Delete' key on the extra postings ...

Also, you may have noticed that any posts which are sent with a blank
subject line seem to confuse the server, and it forgets to add the
identification number to those posts.  It is then confusing for the
recipients trying to figure out where their mail came from.  Please try
to remember to _always_ use some kind of subject line ... even just a
single word.

Thanx

Dave

Subject: [Baren 954] a letter from Danny Pierce 

The following arrived in the mail today, and as there is nothing
particularly personal about it, I thought I'd share it with all of you:

June 14, 1998
Red Door Studio
Kent, Washington

Dear Mr. Mundie,
	Thank you for your letter and interest in my work.  No, I do not
have access to the computer world except through the UWM special
exhibition
website.  That exhibition covering thirty years of creating limited
edition handmade books was set up as the beginning of my Archives in the
U.W.M. Library shortly after my retirement from teaching printmaking at
the University.
Since "recycling" I have continued to produce art as it is my life.
	My art work, including painting, sculpture and printmaking can
also be seen on the website of the Martin & Zambita [sp?] Fine Arts
Gallery in Seattle, Washington-- http://www.halcyon.com/mzfinartl.

Sincerely,
Danny Pierce

Sla/inte,
James Mundie, Philadelphia USA

Subject: [Baren 955] correction to last post 

the Martin & Zambito Gallery address should read:

http://www.halcyon.com/mzfinart

That "l" Danny included must have been intended as an "/".  I just
visited the above site and was a little disappointed to only find one
image, what appears to be one of Danny's paintings from 1950.

Mise le meas,
James Mundie, Philadelphia USA

Baren,
	Graham,

Certainly buying pigments from either Guerra or Kremer is much cheaper than
buying tube colors. I recently recieved approx, 15 different colors from the
Guerra people in 2 0z. bottles for approx. $80. It would seem the colors from
the Canadian Mike Turner place might be a very similar product to the Guerra
pigments: "water dispersed" (do they come in handy little plastic squeeze
bottles?)

Guerra prices ranged between $ 2.25 and
$ 7 for the 2 oz bottles.

Ex:
prussian blue  $ 4
quinacridone red	$5.50
burnt sienna  $2.25


On the Internet and the world of woodblock:

Before meeting to teach a workshop last weekend I sent out to the students a
note about my own web-site and woodblock.com, etc. as a way to do a little
research before coming to the class. I was some surprised that everyone had
computer access and had spent time checking stuff out, indeed no one arrived
'cold' to the class, and we were able to get up and running much faster than
would have been the case without this little world of woodblock we have all
been working on here on the Web. I mention this only to point out this stuff is
not get used only by computer professionals, etc.!

Matt
