Hi,

I seem to have solved my mailing problem by using the plain text
format. I just need to remember to go to format and check plaint text
every time I reply to a Baren list. The Mac is a delight after years
of using a PC.

I agree that Kathe Kollwitz probably planned the rough cut area to
mottle her print. However one can look at a piece of wood and see a
rough area and plan it as part of a print. One can also find a tool
that might give the effect. Either way it is a shallow cut or
shallower rough area on the block. Interesting question and it opens
up a new area to explore.

Subject: [Baren 36052] "Earth" Exchange Sign-Ups w/ Four Oceans Press
Send Message: To this poster




This is an exchange outside of Barenforum.
 
Four Oceans Press is now starting sign-ups for our new set of quarterly Hand-Pulled Print Exchanges.
‘The Classical Elements’ is made up of four themes:  Earth, Water, Air and Fire.
Sign up for one or all of them. The first in the Series will be "Earth" our sixth
Hand-pulled Print Exchange... All the details are below :)
 


Theme: EARTH

Color: B/W or Color. Color is encouraged, but we love a good b/w image.

Image Size: At least 6” x 8” but no larger than 8.5” x 11”.

Paper Size: Paper must be no larger than 8.5” x 11”. It is OK if the image bleeds
off the edge of the paper.

Medium: Woodblock, Linoleum, Serigraph, Lithograph or Intaglio

Paper type: Any archival paper appropriate to your printing method can be used.

Print Deadline: October 15, 2008
 

Complete exchange details can always be found on the Four Oceans Press website at
http://www.fouroceanspress.com/exchange.html 


Check out the main Archive page to see who the 'Artist of the Month' is and to see
images of all the prints that have been in our previous exchanges (linked to the left).
http://www.fouroceanspress.com/archive.html
 
 

The Fruit Alphabet Exchange is also having sign-ups... Prints are not due until
January 2009 - for those of you who need a lot of time :) There are only 8 more letter
available, so pick yours today!!!
http://www.fouroceanspress.com/exchange_alphabet.html
 
 

A new type of exchange has been started on Four Oceans Press... It's not exactly what
the Baren is all about, however, as artists I'm sure there are some of you who also
might be really good photographers...  Four Oceans Press is taking sign-ups for their
first 'Fine Arts Photography Exchange' with the theme of "movement". If you are
a photographer or know someone who is, it would be wonderful if you would pass on
the information for this Exchange.

Take a Look, Read, Consider and then Sign up...
http://www.fouroceanspress.com/index.html
 
 

If you can not get involved this time, check the website regularly for the next
exchange and other projects.  As always, Thank you to all the Artists on the Baren who
have been a part of the Four Oceans Press Exchanges or other Exchanges here on
Baren that I have been a part of :)  You all do wonderful work and inspire my to do more printmaking!!!
 
 
Thanks & Smiles,
Heather

Hello 'ratty' Bareners...

My rats are scratching in their box and will escape to you on Wednesday. I just need to know if there are any address changes since Julio updated the rat exchange list in December 2007. Please email me if you have a newer address.
