Subject: [Baren 18226] Message from Scotland ... 

Message is from Barbara, Wanda & Sharri ...

***

We spent the first day wiring the show, however some of us spent it
sleeping, namely Sharri and Wanda, who say they are the smart ones. I
however, toughed it out and stayed up. The next day Wanda's suitcase
finally arrived so she didn't have to wear those sweat pants to the
opening....Actually she had nice pants.

We hung the show for Greg who was running around like a chicken with its
head cut off doing something important, or not. We had a good opening
and 31 prints sold. 25% of the sales go to Marie Cure Cancer Center so a
good cause. We went out for American style pizza after the opening with
Greg and his wife Lianne and had lots of fun. Greg looked pretty tired
and deservedly so as it was a lot more work than he anticipated. He
stained and oiled all the frames as well as matted and framed the work.

Gayle, Greg used your piece for the invitation and it was lovely.

We have had the bus tours of the city and today toured the
Castle...quite a site. We are exhausted! but happy and seem to be over
any jet lag. We have lots of days left so we plan to do our duty to the
Scottish economy and leave a little american money here. Thought we were
going to have to buy Wanda a new wardrobe, but were saved at the last
minute....I think she was disappointed.

Best to all,

Barbara

I sent this query yesterday, but it did not seem to appear, so I am sending 
it again:

Well, as usual, I have a question. The rules state "woodblock", and the 
only exception noted is lino. I presume plywood is O.K. But, am I allowed 
to enter if I am carving MDF? Just thought I had better check.

Cheers ...... Charles

Charles,...I use MDF all of the time on these exchanges with no one yelling
at me so far.
Anything that is carved, any relief print, will be acceptable I believe.
Good luck,

Hi, Michelle, and welcome to Baren!

You'll find the <http://barenforum.org/index.html> very
informative and useful.  When you have some time, wander
around.  David has created quite a resource for woodblock
printmakers!

On the opening page you'll find an area to answer your questions
about exchanges.  Once you have an idea of what's happening
you'll also find a place to sign up. 

I'm glad that you found us!  

Sharen, 
  near Chicago

Thanks, Philip. Unless I hear to the contrary, I will rely on your experience.

Cheers ...... Charles

Subject: [Baren 18232] John's show 

Hi,
Very much enjoyed John Center's show at the Unicorn Cafe. Great prints.  
I build my own frames and it was good to see John's. So different from 
the usual rectangle or square.

A book on frame making (if you are into that sort of thing) I would 
recommend is "Step-By-Step Framing" by Eamon Toscano, first published in 
1971. I found my copy at a second hand book fair about 10 years ago. 
Very good for the beginner, if you can get hold of a copy.

Regards
Cathryn
