Subject: [Baren 21579] Apology 

My apology for screwing up the list - I don't know exactly what I did 
wrong, except that I forgot to delete the rest of the digest after 
writing my response. Anyway, the update to LPE II and III is all at the 
website http://www.rst-art.com/lpe.htm.  I tried to copy and paste the 
list of people and that didn't work, so please scurry over to the site 
for any information you require, all the parameters are there.

Cheers,
Sharri

Subject: [Baren 21580] large print exchanges 

hello  to all 
                        speaking of the LPE  II and III  reminds me
 to tell everyone that  i recently  had the opportunity to sell
 the use of one of my prints to the Maine Community Foundation -
( a non profit that gives small grants to civic, arts, cultural and
educational groups and individuals doing good things in our communities)

they found my work by looking at Rudolph's website of LPE 1
and then contacted me by phone
 we consummated our deal totally by email-
i sent them many jpegs of  prints,  from which they chose one
 for  an advertisement in the July '03
issue of DOWNEAST MAGAZINE and two other local uses,
- -always with a credit line to the artist (me) :-)

they paid me much more than what i would sell three prints for
so i was pleased--

 thanks, Rudolph,  for setting up and maintaining that site-
it was a roundabout way for a Maine group
 to find me, in Maine, but that's the wonder of the internet- I guess.......

i have my own website "on hold" at the moment
while i research options for free sites
to put it back up on-any suggestions?

having my local server "host" the site  has been too draining
 on my limited finances, though i really still want to have a website-

i need to get Front Page for MAC and
 learn how to manipulate my own site

being connnected/linked to barenforum and various other sites
 like the LPE exchanges
proves to be  quite a boon
while we Luddites struggle with the computer learning curve,

ayuh, -

I was looking for space in the basement to put a kiln.  I have too many
woodblocks.  What does everyone do with their woodblocks when done?. I s
there a good way to transform them into new art?  I think I probably won't
ever print most of those again even though the edition was never fully
printed.  Do I just grit my teeth and throw them away?  It's almost worth
doing reduction woodcuts..  However, I am a pack rat anyway.  I know Maria
will have something funny to say about it.

Good idea, I have also seen them made into tables and boxes, very
decorative. I do like the idea of a screen and Jean, the way you
work in a theme your work would look especially nice as a screen.
Maybe as a window treatment...cornice boards or something. Dave
is probably picking himself up off the floor....but I do think if
you never plan to print them, you could do something with them.
Maria inks them, varahanes them and mounts them in a frame and
sells them. Not a bad idea!

Oh...Themes!

A theme would be nice at least for LPE III.

Today all the big things in life seem to inspirate me. (Larger prints need 
bigger themes, of course)
What about the following alternatives:

1. "Friendship"
2. "Happiness and Sorrow"
3. "Day and night" (Or Darkness and light)
4. "Ups and Downs" (this is quite metaphoric and open, so it'd be interesti
ng to see what it means to different people)

Or
5. "The great Seascapes" (a good theme for woodcuts because of the fabulous
 Hokusai seascape series, and many others too)

Also still waiting for use:
6. "Myths and  mythology". There could be even several mythological exhang
s, for example one for the oldest and most basic architypical myths, such a
s paradise and then Greek mythology and other myths from great epic texts.


For LPE II I've sketched something suitable for the themes 1 or 2. Is there
 many who have already carved or even printed?

And, to other things; Is Baren mall selling and sending material everywhere
 in the world, or are most clients in U.S?
