Hello all,

A couple of points of clarification on Exchange 36.
Since the signup was started late, on 1/8, the one-week "holding period" for
participants of Exchange 35 will end on 1/15. At that time I will promote
previous participants in the order received to the exchange list.

Also, to sign up, go to the Exchange sign up page and fill in the form.
Sending me an email offlist does not suffice. This is so we can keep
everything fair and sign up participants on a first come, first served
basis.

Once more, all the information at the page below:
Sign up at
http://barenforum.org/exchange/exchange_sign-up.html

Hello to all and to Marilynn Smith:

Thank you for your wellcome notes and I find your printmaking comments are very helpful.

Marilynn, I am glad you live in Baja (beautifull place, beautifull people!!!!!!). I was raised in Baja-Mexicali BC.

Sending mail from Mexico. For the first time I ventured into sending 3 prints by regular registered mail to Denmark. To my surprise they were delivered in the middle of December in 3 weeks and it was only 150 pesos ( 14 dolars).

You can see the prints at www.grafisk-kunst-dk . There are 1499 prints from 764 artists and 52 countries. I hope you enjoy them. http://www.videoart.suite.dk/mini-prrints/victorcia-guadalupe-mini.htm
Best Regards, Guadalupe

Been busy this past week with proofing on my latest print - the River
in Winter - and finally got a scan of it uploaded this evening:
http://woodblock.com/solitudes/prints.html

It's quite a bit different from anything I've done before, and I'd be
interested to hear your reactions!
