Love the name of that show. You have to let me know where/when that will be in case I am able to make it there. As for exhibition in Bulgaria, the exhibition that Carol may have located on my resume in Bulgaria was indeed from one of the exchanges, I can't remember which one at the moment. Happy printing!

I thought it would be fun to experience a balmy 4 or 5 days in Ohio in Febrrruary. I was worried about taking my tools on the trip. I hate taking anything but carry-on but travel with woodcut tools!??? Anyone done it? Maybe I could ship them??

The paint job actually looks better in person - the walls just glow. It took many coats of glazing to get that look, and I got better room-by-room. Definitely on-the-job training! Everyone's nice words makes me feel a bit less guilty about falling so far behind in my artwork! - - --lezles > wow!!!! everything looks wonderful and so impressive makes >me want to >do more work on my house i love the way youve painted the >walls too it >looks so inviting >great job >georga Dear Julio, Sounds good! Why so far out though? The weather is wonderful in September, sunny and 70's every day. Actually, it is sunny nearly every single day all year round. NM is supposed to be the sunniest state - with Florida being number two, but I guess that varies depending on which report you read. The winter temps stay around 50 during the day. Quite a nice change from SD. Someday in the future we will have to do a printmaking/Baren get together here. Such a history of printmaking! And Santa Fe now has more artists and galleries than NYC and is supposed to be the number 1 arts city in the US, with Albuquerque being number 4. But, surprisingly there does not seem to be much action in the way of woodcuts. I have seen lots of lithos (Tamarind, of course), screenprints, and some etchings, but not much in the way of woodcuts. But, I am only just beginning to examine the arts scene - having only been here a few months and being so busy the whole time.

I'm in driving distance so no worries here about my tools. I know alot of Bareners have loads of experience with traveling with their tools. Maybe they can post some tips. I'm especially fond of FedEx, so I would ship with them!

A20. Why sunniest spots may not seem blue Many languages have no specific word for the colour blue and do not distinguish between blue and green. Now, researchers think they may know why: High levels of ultraviolet B (UVB) exposure damage the eye in these countries, making many adults unable to perceive blue. Delwin Lindsey and Angela Brown of Ohio State University reviewed 203 languages from around the world and levels of ultraviolet B, which rise closer to the equator, according to the November issue of Psychological Science. UVB can speed aging of parts of the eye to make it less able to distinguish blue from green. In areas with low levels of UVB, languages tended to have a word for blue while areas with high levels tended not to, the researchers found. In addition, an experiment in the laboratory found that subjects tended to have difficulty recognizing blue when looking through a lens that simulated an eye that has been exposed to high levels of UVB.
