Hi April,
Your new work looks wonderful.  I have been doing a lot of woodblock work.  I 
do need a "refresher course"  but I will be out of town when you come to 
Brookfield  in the begining of July.  I will be checking in on your website 
every now and then to see if you will be in the Ct area soon or if you are 
doing a one day workshop in NY.  I wll be in Santa Monica in July - I will go 
to Hiromi Papers.  I was wondering if while I was out there if you had any 
places to suggest - I would like to buy some tools and would really like to 
see them versus ordering out of a catalog.  Also any suggestions on a tool 
sharpening video - I am having a difficult time sharpening my tools.  Hope 
you are well.  Thank you for all that you so to expose printmakers and others 
this medium.
All the best,
Deborah Waimon

On the process colors - I'm sure Dean is right after all he is our 
resident
 expert I think where I ran into trouble with them and this was 
about 7
 years ago so I'm sure they're improved was mixing them to ultra
 transparency They faded to nadda within three years and the work 

I think they are mostly OFFSET-litho colours named process colours
that fade out especially when thinned to transparent

Well, Mike that is an interesting aspect.  Most of our homes are directed 
to the benefits of the northern sun.  Maybe it is because of the heating 
aspect as that is the warmer side and in the winter months, although it 
doesn't get very cold with +2o or +3o in the minority (and never any 
snow), the sun is at a lower angle during our winter months of May, June, 
July it saves us on heating costs....My Developer-builder husband says 
that the latter is the reason our homes are preferably built with the 
living areas facing north is for the warmth...not for the constant light 
aspect, so you are possibly correct.  I will throw this aspect to our 
Master Builders Association where the mother of our godsons works as an 
advisor on building materials.

In a few years time we are thinking of building a smaller retirement 
house and this has been a very interesting aspect as one of my special 
requirements will be a big studio area. And, the southern facing side 
would be cooler anyway for my working during the summer months... 

An interesting discussion topic.  Thank you.
