Can anyone recommend a (not too pricey) paper suitable for western style
printing that comes in a darkish tan - nearly brown paper bag-colored sort
of hue?  Most of my paper samples are too light for what I have in mind...

thanks!

Maria, where did you find all those references! I have a wonderful book by
Timon Screech "Sex and the Floating World, Erotic images in Japan 1700 -
1820" that is specifically about ukiyo-e period pillow books and their uses.

Nideggen - not quite as dark as brown paper bags, but close, and very 
beautiful.

In addition to Niggeden, try the Canson line or the Fabriano line of pastel
papers. I have printed on both with excellent results, even two colors. They
are unsized and not too toothy and dampen well if you dampen your paper,
although they are a bit more fragile (short fibers) than most printmaking or
Japanese papers.
Fabriano has a "tobacco" paper, you can see it here:

April, I just entered "pillow book" in the Google search engine for the
info. I also own some of the references in my home library.

Roger, thanks for the info on Chinese stone prints, wow, what a neat
technique! I can't wait to try this.

There's Rives BFK tan -- its a warmish brown not too distant from paper bag 
color and it's nice and heavy and prints beautifully!

Wanda...I think it was you, mentioned that tableau is good for hanga.  Do
you have to size it?  Do you dampen it the same as Japanese papers?  Thanks.

Yup, it was me. I didn't size it - but you have to be light-handed with the
dampening and on the dry side with your pigments. Which we are supposed to
do with hanga anyway.  It is a very lightweight, translucent, but tough
paper & not  much stretch or expansion, which makes it nice for hanga. I
wasn't aware that it was used for absorbing dyes in fabric - but perhaps
that is the reason for the nice large size & the low price.

I experiment a lot with papers - and I save examples in my drawers with the
paper/pigment notations on the back of the print - so the next time I want
to use a certain paper, I have an idea how it will react.  It's also very
helpful in identifying those "mystery papers" that show up in the stacks
without their little markers! :-)

Wanda

PS Can't wait until the #15 shows up in my mailbox!  I got a "sneak peak" at
Suzi Sutherland Martin's print last Tuesday.  I *love* it! I think you will
too!

Barbara, I contacted Glenn Brill at Savoir Faire and he is sending me a 
bunch of samples of the Lascaux paste. I also ordered a case for my 
self(500ml) and will be able to bath in it:)
If anyone wants a sample let me know.
I add just a bit to water and it acts like rice paste but no sticking or 
clumping and it distributes pigment or paint wonderfully.
I also, as you know, use it as a base for roll up and mono type. If you 
rub it on your plexi it acts like Gum Arabic but faster and better.

Thanks
Robert

Robert, I will be anxious to try this, as the source I had for my
glue disappeared. I have been asked to do a hanga class in
Eugene, so if you know anyone who is interested in taking it, let
me know. Some gals are getting it together, it came about through
McClains. My folkes lived in Eugene for years but I haven't been
back since about 93, so it will be fun to visit again. Best to
you, Barbara Robert Canaga Gallery <rcg#robertcanagagallery.com>

Sorry about sending that last post to the list...It was supposed
to only go to Robert. Since I have your attention, thanks to all
who sent a reply for the Am Print Alliance, I have over 50 names
and addresses so that will make them happy! If anyone else wants
to be on the list, send your snail mail address to me. Barbara

The calendar project     I hope it happens.  I wikl donate prints to the 
Baren to sell for Baren profit and let them go at a price a person would pay 
for an reallt fine calandar, perhaps $19.95 to 24.95.  And what a bargain 
that is!!!  I would happily hel out this wondrful group of artists.
