Hello Everyone!
I have been a loyal lurcker for a while now, so I thought that in all 
fairness I should introduce myself. I am a part-time college senior at 
Ursuline College (Pepper Pike, OH) majoring in Fine Art with concentrations 
in Drawing and Printmaking. I have 4 children, so obviously I'm a 
non-traditional student! I'm relatively new to the printmaking scene, but I 
am facinated by the many different techniques and applications that it has. 
Hanga printmaking is not really discussed in any of my classes, so I have 
been trying to grasp it's concepts through reading. 
I am very excited to be attending the Baren Summit, where I hope to be able 
to fill in some of the gaps that I'm sure I must have. I promise not to be a 
pest! 
I've noticed that sometimes members meet each other when they are traveling. 
I would love to meet some of you before the Summit, so I don't go in without 
knowing anyone. 
I will be in Chicago next weekend (Thursday - Sunday) with my husband for Art 
Chicago at Navy Pier. If anyone is in the area, maybe we can go for coffee?
Looking forward to meeting you!
Mary Green

I like to tear my papers when I can, but if I have to
cut them, I have found that a round blade cloth knife,
such as Olaf (?) and Friskers makes, to be ideal. 
Used with a 'T' square and a plastic, self-healing
cloth cutting mat, I easily cut through small stacks
of papers.  The lines drawn into the mat makes it a
snap to align the paper and it also provides a true
edge to move the 'T' square against.

Cheers,
eli

Subject: [Baren 21419] My Apologies  

Hello Everyone,

I must apologize to everyone who has tried to e-mail me in the last
couple days (including the baren forum itself).   My website server
changed and I didn't realize that it effected my e-mail service too.  I
tested my e-mail from work and I received the e-mail at home -  I have
now discovered that was because their internet service happens to be
with the same company and that any 'outside' e-mail were being returned.


Once again, very sorry everyone who responded to my enquiries.   

I will be able to pickup any responses that were directed to the forum
by checking the online archives, but if anyone sent any directly to me,
could they please resend them.

Thank you.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

=Chris Bailey=
