Hello from the windy Washington coast. It is fun to read everyones
reaction to the cairn print. I think this project is a direct
reflection of our Baren community. Artists from all over creating in
their corner of the world, coming together and fitting together so
well. Where to mount and display this project is an interesting
subject. You said the ceiling or doors, my ceiling is curved and all
3 of my doors are glass panes, yikes!!! Maybe I could hang the thing
from a tree out back and the blue herons, owls, deer and eagles could
have a good time ogling at it. You are indeed puzzling the world with
the great world Cairn project. This group of prints needs to be seen.
I have an idea, how about framing it on a board, with a frame so it
can be tilted, swiveled and rolled about?? It could float all about
the house, my porch and even be transported via a big truck to local
places for public viewing? I await the next wondrous and massive Maria
puzzle project.

The puzzle projects never have a limit so if 150 people want to participate
I will just get more blocks and make a museum-wall-size print! First I take
sign ups and that pretty much determines the size of the beast, the more the
merrier. Nobody that wants to play will ever get left out. I will just have
to get help at printing time, that's all.

As for making a copy of every block outline, I sort of do that. The
framework of each project determines the shape of the little pieces. This
works out pretty well because I can make an outline of missing blocks pretty
quickly and replace with freshly cut ones. I only had 3 drop outs of 79
people and it was so late in the game I just cut replacements myself. The
previous project only had one drop out and a sub was on the bench and
quickly carved a replacement.

The replacement process is in the middle of the page here:

http://1000woodcuts.com/projects/cairn/cairn_early2008.html nothing to it!

Cairn is a unique concept and name, isn't it! I'm getting some suggestions
through the mail and will decide. I always need a little rest and I have an
exchange print or two to complete.

Send Message: To this poster

Hello all,

The deadline for Exchange #37 and 37a is upon us very quickly. I am starting
to receive prints and emails that prints have been mailed.

Please review the information page
http://www.barenforum.org/exchange/exchange_37/exchange_37.html and don't
forget:

-Send in postage or money to cover, remember that USPS rates have gone
through the roof! Please check http://www.usps.com for details. A Flat Rate
Priority Mail Envelope seems to be the best deal for both domestic and world
mailing these days and this set of prints fit nicely into them. Envelopes
are free at your post office or have the USPS mail you some for free.

-Send in a mailing label if sending money and updated email and snail-mail
addresses if any changes.

-Go to http://www.barenforum.org/exchange/exchange_37/exchange_37.html and
send in your print information details as soon as you can. This helps me
start working on the colophon so that I don't have to do it all at once.

HURRY!

Maria, with a three-pointed coordinator-hat with bells on (I have one, you
know, the handsome Jester tenor of my Madrigals singing group gave me one of
his as a high-school graduation present; I was second soprano, in case you
wonder.so now you know)

I'm with Diane. I haven't received the Cairn project yet, and I am very very
jealous. Each month or so at Spudnik Press we put up a new showcase of
prints in the studio. I plan on hanging the cairn project, as well as one of
the exchanges I've participated in. I will keep you posted and share some
pictures. I would like to push more people that print at Spudnik to do
collaborative projects/exchanges, and although we don't have too many
woodblock artists, I think Baren is the perfect role model/inspiration.

Thanks,
Angee

i've been a little under the weather, so haven't been able to get into the studio to pull my ferris wheel print, so i started on another little block. i'm about halfway done carving it. click on the link below for a little preview! (once you hit the link if you hit the "all sizes" button above the picture you'll be able to see it in more detail...)

this one is small, about 5x7 and will make perfect little cards to send to people.

can't wait to see this one printed!

happy carving, bareners!
