Hi Bea - Dieu Donne is close to the Soho area of NY - near a number of
galleries, etc. and near great Canal St. bargain shopping, Pearl Paint (a huge
supermarket of an art supply store), and a cool Chinese dept. store called
Pearl River.  Dieu Donne is an interesting place in itself - I have done work
exchange off & on there over the past couple of years - they're dedicated to
hand papermaking as an art, & offer paper-making & other related classes -
recently I took a class there in Japanese paper-making (which included
cleaning & cooking the fibers & beating them by hand w/mallets!) - really
makes you appreciate the paper! - 
All the best,

Sarah

Subject: [Baren 3366] My Neighbor Totoro 

I finally had a chance to check out the video that people have mentioned, "My
Neighbor Totoro."  The artwork is interesting - quite detailed backgrounds
compared to most 2-D animation that I've seen - and the characters (especially
the Totoro characters!) are charming.  And that catbus!!!!! (I won't say any
more!!)  Definitely worth a look for those of you who haven't seen it -   I
have a question which perhaps one of you folks that lives in Japan can answer.
Why are the eyes on people in Japanese animations so western-looking even when
the people are supposed to be Asian?  Just wondering . . . 
Best regards,
Sarah

Me too.  I signed up then fate got in the way and I feel like I've 
just had a miscarriage.  (Sorry, that was crude, but that's how I
feel).  I want to sign up for next year.  I already have my print
half done (the one I was going to do for this year's exchange).

Dave, I've never done this before.  I have a Mac and I
don't understand the procedure.  Could you explain it
step by step for people like me.  The only way I've ever
understood to send things is through attachments (and
I learned that one from you), so I'd appreciate another
lesson.

I sent a posting the other day about webpages and pointed out that Fetch is
the freeware for transferring data (ftp) which stands for File Transfer
Protocol.

Subject: [Baren 3375] Got the prints 

Hey y'all-
I was just handed the exchange set! James was right, it was definately
worth the wait- everyone's print looks great and displays a wonderful
assortment of talent. Ray- yours definately does NOT suck.

That's all I'll say for right now- just wanted to whet the appetites just a
little more. I really look forward to reading about each print and asking
the "how you do dat?" questions.

I will strap on my life preserver and wait for the e-mail "ohhh n' ahh"
deluge to begin. Those who didn't get a chance to join, be patient.
