Kat,

You can do chine colle using a baren - just burnish like heck to get all 
the wrinkles out and make sure you have good adhesion. If you use the 
durotech film that Barbara referred to be sure you use it on dry paper! 
If your paper is the least bit damp you will have a disaster on your 
hands, experience speaking:>)  You can use rice or wheat paste on damp 
paper without any problems.

Received this from Graham this morning...  Included a photo of an old 
scallop shell with about $1 in Canadian change in it and a note, "Yellow 
brick road to see the whites of their eyes $ fund $ Have a great trip 
Marnie and Graham"

Wanda -- note the gscholes@pop.highspeedplus.com X-Sender moniker -- be 
sure that one is banned, too!

Anyway, thinking of replying:
"Dear Graham,

Only Baren Forum members in good standing may register and/or 
attend.  Perhaps you and Marnie would like to visit Kansas City some other 
time?

Mike"

Sound OK to you guys?

For me, Helen Frankenthaler's woodblock prints are 
among the supreme objects of late 20th-c American art. I first saw Cedar Hill 
on the cover of A Graphic Muse, a book about women printmakers that was 
published in 1987 and includes two powerful woodblock prints by Lousia Chase. 
A large print by HF  was at the Boston Museum of Fine Art last winter, in a 
show of contemporary prints that included a wild piece by Terry Winters that 
was never touched by human hands, as far as I can tell - the plate was cut by 
laser, and the print was printed through a hydraulic press. The wall text 
explained that Frankenthaler had worked with ten plates, each of a different 
kind of wood, which fascinated me with the possibilities of building up a 
surface from all those grains. I've always been interested in generating 
beauty through manipulating the materials to bring out what is inherent in 
the material; Frankenthaler's paintings and prints do that supremely.

I've been lucky to study woodblock printing with Yasu Shibata, HF's printer 
at Tyler Graphics, as well as with April Vollmer. For those who wonder why 
anyone would live in a big city, there's my answer: terrific resources.

Cut; print.
