Subject: [Baren 4369] paper storage 

   I work in my garage-- there really is no alternative-- and it is a
dusty place, and on occassion more so.  Currently what paper I have is in
tubes.  I'd love to store it flat; I want a map drawer, or better yet,
something cheaper.  I haven't started looking or constructing yet.  Any
suggestions?              --GV

Dear Gayle

You explained awhile back on how you were registering your oil woodblock
prints by "folding them back". Dave recommended a book called "Relief
Printing" , I believe by Hudson?  I cannot find the book. I have a book on
Relief Printing but it does not mention this registration technique. Could
you pretend that I am in woodblock printing 101 and explain it in the most
basic of terms, step by step.
Registration is probably the most difficult of all (except sharpening
tools).
I felt so competent with my pencil and my paint brush. I now feel like a
real amateur. Maybe I will never conquer this media. GGGGRRRR

I don't know how active the McMinville area is for auctions, but I got my
USGS map file at an auction here in Spokane for $25. It has 6 drawers and
measures over 6' wide and 4.5' deep. I had it sandblasted and powdercoated
for another $75. And put a set of handles and big casters on it... :)

Keep looking around, they're out there...

Jeanne
In case you think that Graham is very busy printing, I just wanted to let
you know the reason that he has been so quiet these last few days, is that
he is in Toronto, visiting family and friends.  He will be back Friday
evening, so look out, the net waves will then be full.

Gregory, are you in McMinnville, Oregon? There are several places around
Portland you might be able to get a cheap flat file.

Another place recommended to me was Yellow Freight, or other shipping
companies, as they sometimes offer slightly damaged goods at giveaway
prices.

Yet another idea is to check with your local Architectural firms to see if
they have any unused flat files they'd be willing to give/sell you.  
Sometimes they update their furniture and end up with these things on their
hands.

Subject: [Baren 4378] Possible Exchange print #1 exhibit 

Hi folks - I'm sending this to both Baren & BA5 just to make sure everyone 
knows -- just wanted to tell you folks that participated in the first 
exchange print, that if you're interested in having your exchange print 
exhibited at Manhattan Graphics, you need to email Judy Mensch 
(mensch@interport.net) soon and let her know.  What it would entail from you 
would be a $20 (discounted!) membership fee to Manhattan Graphics since you 
need to be a member to show there.  I think it's a great opportunity to have 
your work seen by a bunch of New York folks, and April & I have agreed to 
help her with the exhibit, so all we need is some more of you to let her know 
you'd like to participate - 
Best to all of you -
Sarah
