This fellow is doing somewhat the same thing as he was using the same system hp/3, etc. and it does, indeed, mean hand print. Mystery solved, we called the artist. Thanks for the bit about it being an open edition tho, I hadn't received that information. Thanks to everyone who gave their input.

So now I can start proofing my blocks on newsprint and see what's really going on!  Also got a book from my local library called The Complete Printmaker which has a great chapter on woodcuts.  All this cross referencing is helping me to understand the bigger picture.  Actually began sharpening my knives!  This weekend I'm going to the Printmaking Biennial at Boston University... ------------------------------ From: Cucamongie@aol.com Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2001 20:03:03 EST Subject: [Baren 13672] unwoodlike question Hi all, sorry to post a nonprintmaking question, but I know many of you do work in other media as well. I recently started taking a class in Mixed Media drawing, which is really great messy fun - drawing using a combination of various types of charcoal, pencil, conte crayon, gouache, ink, etc. My question is this: do any of you know a less poisonous method of "fixing" drawings that use smudgy media such as charcoal than the horrendous headache-inducing spray fixiatives? I remember a friend of mine telling me a long time ago that she heard you could use a steamer, like those little travel steamers used for steaming clothing. Has anyone tried this or some other alternative? Feel free to write me off list- thanks as always, Sarah Cucamongie@aol.com ------------------------------ From: DosDots@aol.com Date: Thu, 1 Mar 2001 00:28:57 EST Subject: [Baren 13673] Re: unwoodlike question sarah- i haven't tried them, but friends have told me that they really like a new product- i think it's called "lithopencil"- or something like that. you can permanently fix it by heating it slightly with a blowdryer, and it's archival. i'll let you know if i get more accurate info. good luck- noreen richards ------------------------------ From:dimitris grammatikopulos Date: Thu, 1 Mar 2001 03:03:26 -0800 (PST) Subject: [Baren 13674] Re: unwoodlike question I lways use hair-spray.
