I'm really curious. Jeanne's messages never did that before.

I really took to your style. I am such a novice and learning so much from this group that everything i see and hear is eye opening for me. many of your prints are linear and that is exciting to me as often i work in a very linear fashion. thanks for sharing ------------------------------ From: "Jeanne Norman Chase" Date: Tue, 2 Jan 2001 13:02:18 -0500 Subject: [Baren 12760] Re: Baren Digest v14 #1270 charset="iso-8859-1" As for my drinking, only cappucinni martinis.

Barbara P. ------------------------------ From: Wanda Date: Tue, 02 Jan 2001 11:43:41 -0700 Subject: [Baren 12764] Messages to Baren Good morning Baren folk, I would like to remind all of you to please go into your e-mail settings in your browser, and make sure that "mime" is turned OFF. For those people receiving the digest versions of Baren - my sincere apologies. For some of you on AOL - they seem to have put in a new feature with mime, and we can't find a way to turn it off. I will contact AOL & see if they have any suggestions. If you feel the pressing need to talk about someone's accidental post - write to them directly, don't use Baren as your vehicle of direct communication. Most of us are not interested in reading your personal e-mail. Perhaps it would be a good time to mention the "guidelines for posting" in the Baren Forum. Go to: http://barenforum.org/ and click on General Information. There you will find "Topics" and "Posting Messages" to be very informative. Thank all of you for your attention to this. Please help us keep Baren running along smoothly for everyone. It is the greatest list on the 'net, let's try to keep it that way.

Maybe my computer (George), does not like the year 2001. Seems ok now.

The experiences other printmakers relay is the besk kind of information. The enclyclopedia and other sources at Woodblock.com are worth their weight in gold for classroom prep.

Hey, Graham... How about filling us in on why & how you use varnish (or other finish) on your blocks?

Possibly one or both are using microslop mail software. I prefer tequila margarita myself.

I said that you print only one part of the block at a time but if you look at the photos you'll see that I printed the entire cut. It depends on the size of the paper. My paper was large enough for me to have the weight outside the cut area allowing me to do the whole block at one time. This has been true for all the blocks I've done so far. I hope this makes sense - if not complain and I'll try again.

I am sorry i didn't report every day - but my English sounds differently from what i have in mind. It was quiet a success - considering the political situation, I was interviewed by the local press and radio station. =20 Yesterday I was asked by the manager of a (municipal) Tiberias** (Heb.: = Tveria) =20 gallery, "Yad leBanim"*, to start the same exhibition once again. The opening will be held on the 20th January. This time we will have publicity (humble), invitations and a formal and = festive opening, press covering and may be more. Luck to all, Arye =20 * "Yad LeBanim" : "Yad" - Hand, Memorial "Le" - for "Banim" - the male form of = 'children' and the meaning : The Memorial House for the (killed) soldiers - ** Tiberias (Hebrew - Tveria) - Town on the shores of the Sea of Galilee = that was named, two thousand years ago, after the Roman Emperor Tiberius. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Arye Saar Kibbutz Degania B Jordan Valley, Israel E-mail: saar1@degania-b.org.il ------------------------------ End of Baren Digest v14 #1271 *****************************
