Subject: [Baren 2380] Couple of things 

Hello.

Can't recall who mentioned it, but let's bring up the "blurb" sheet again
for the exchange.  I think we should make a small sheet to enclose with
each print:  Name of work, artist, HOW TO CONTACT ARTIST BY PHONE, EMAIL
and SNAILMAIL, small description of process, paper, number of impressions
and blocks, number of editions, and that sort of junk.   I think it should
NOT be attached to the print.  Others thoughts?

As was also mentioned previously, Elmer's normal, regular glue will repair
ply and be much stronger than the original glue.  Doesn't matter if it gets
quite wet.  It will only fall apart when soaked long-term.  Of course,
Elmer's Carpenter glue is stronger.  The Elmer's PASTE that I use to glue
my drawing on the block is weak and very susceptible to water--that's why I
use it for the drawing.  For the little repairs that I do and the short
runs that I print, Normal Elmer's works dandy for fixing those boo-boos and
I can verify fairly long-term holding power even when printing with
watercolor.

Cheers and greetings,
- --Roger

I am for that !!!
That will answer a lot of questions that I am sure will be asked on the
Baren, 29 of them.

Roger: Your print is coming along very well. Thanks for sharing your
progress with us.
(This entry here is necessary so that Dave won't get toooo upset with me
for the long non-printmaking related topics  I been writing about ). But
seriously, Roger, your print is looking good!

Subject: [Baren 2386] certificate of authenticity 

So, Ray, perhaps you could supply us with a sample certificate of
authenticity? The ones I've seen are way too much, with a lot of
information that just isn't applicable to artist-made prints.

I have heard that these certificates are getting more common. I'd love to
have some sort of simple version. Any suggestions?

Wanda, thank you for the elucidation on the family histories! I hope you
enjoy my article in Printmaking Today, it was difficult to simplify things
down to two pages. DISCLAIMER: I disown the reproduction of my print,
however, it is really washed out.
http://www.ulster.net/~vollmerf/april/pic_hanga/sunset.html is the same
print on my web page, with much better color.

I better get back in the studio, time is running out for our exchange! I'm
doing the last cutting corrections to the blocks now.
