This is about selling on EBay, DELETE now if not interested.

If anyone has been waiting to test the waters at EBay to sell small, old,
overstock or otherwise easy-to-get-rid-off mass-appeal prints, today is the
day. Today only Oct 31 until midnight, they are offering free listing of
_fixed-price_ items with no enhancements. Awesome deal, if you ask me.
Registration for selling is free, today selling is free under those terms.
Please note that EBay takes a cut of your final value.
Just thought I'd mention it. I think printmakers are in an ideal position to
take something like paper and ink and make it into something that people pay
to have.
Anyhow, www.ebay.com
click on Sell Your Item and browse through the help topics. It's a gold mine
for a fun loving ego-less printmaker!

Good luck,
Maria

Subject: [Baren 19697] Thank you for brush info 

 Thank you,
 Barbara, Brian and Julio for the helpful information on conditioning those
brushes. When I get my nerve up, I'll have a go at it. Meanwhile, I'm having
a good time evolving some images that feature sheep/goats and cussing a bit
because I had done a small Tibetan Pony print that would have been good for
this years New Year card, and I'll have to wait another 12 years before the
Year of the Horse comes round again. I do love an excuse to do horses,
having been one of those kids who was always chided for drawing horses all
over her school books.

Unrepentant in Sacramento,
Carol W

Subject: [Baren 19698] Old Master prints exhibition at Baltimore Museum of Art 

The latest issue of Journal of the Print World reports that the 
Baltimore Museum of Art is currently showing the first major exhibition 
ever organized of hand-colored prints from the 16th and 17th centuries.  
Painted Prints: The Revelation of Color in Northern Renaissance & 
Baroque Engravings, Etchings & Woodcuts is on display to January 5, 
2003.  It will feature nearly 50 works by Albrecht Durer, including a 
colored version of his monumental Triumphal Arch.  There will be 27 
pairings of hand-colored Durer prints next to their uncolored 
counterparts. 

The prints were painted "with transparent washes, bold opaque colors, 
and hints of silver and gold by professional print colorists."  The 
works "range from early devotional woodcuts to playing cards to 
monumental wall decorations from the 15th through 17th centuries."

A guide to painted prints is supposed to be online at www.artbma.org (I 
haven't tried it yet).  The exhibition catalog is co-published by the 
Baltimore Museum of Art and Penn State University Press.  320 pages, $50 
cloth; $29.95 paper.  Available at the BMA Shop (410) 396-6338 or Penn 
State University Press 1-800-326-9180 or www.psupress.org.

The write-up in the JPW makes the show sound really exciting, especially 
if you are a fan of Durer's work, as I am.

I just read about Santa Reparata International School of Art in Florence 
in the Fall 2002 Southern Graphics Council newsletter Graphic 
Impressions.  Craig Jobson of Columbia College Chicago wrote about his 
four weeks there this summer teaching a course The Printmaker's Eye and 
the Bookmaker's Hand.  The whole experience sounded very exciting.

Subject: [Baren 19700] BOOK 
Phillip,

This is a good price, we have them at the NWPC office for $29.95.....I 
wonder how they got them cheaper???? Probably a book thing I don't 
understand...like remainder books.=20

The book is very helpful but a class sure is the best way to 
learn.....even after reading the book I was confused...my normal state 
though, so wouldn't take this as a regular response to the book. It is 
confusing, I think photographers would have a better understanding of 
the exposure thing, If you expose it a shorter time it is darker as it 
is not over exposed.....this was really  hard for me to understand, but 
I have it now.

I am off in a few hours to put drawings on blocks for my class, this is 
such fun...I should have been teaching moku hanga sooner! I have 12 very 
enthusiastic women here...I am going to work on #15, so it may end up 
pretty strange. I am going to do it in careful stages, waiting one week 
between each step, guess I will have paper in the freezer for 
sure.....hopefully it will turn out. I think I will take pictures of 
what we do, just for fun! A good record of suffering and then eventual 
success!
Best to all,
Barbara
