at the Center for Contemporary Printmaking in Norwalk, CT. I was the second
and moved in the day he moved out.
That was NOT a great year for Paul, as his studio had burned and he'd lost
virtually everything! But the prints he made while in residence at CCP were
spectacular, I thought and very inspiring to me!
He wrote me last evening to announce the opening of his exhibition at Open
Eye Gallery, 34 Abercromby Place, Edinburgh - if you're in the area DO have
a look!
Paul has a new web-site up and running as well: http://www.paulfurneaux.com/
-- LOTS of his excellent moku-hanga woodcuts and information to enjoy - so
go visit and ENJOY!!!!

Subject: [Forest in Summer - 4] : First block finished ...
Posted by: Dave Bull
|
Continued from [Forest in Summer - 3] | Starting point of the thread is [Forest in Summer - 1]  As I mentioned yesterday, there was no chance for a full day's work, but the first block is now finished. (I kept track of the time, and it took 17.5 hours altogether ...) The wood was a bit softer than I'd like for a block with so many thin lines, but the fact that they are all grouped together will minimize problems when printing ...  So ... what's next? Should I 'skip around' to another area of the design, or continue with the blocks that will print this greenery ... Let's stick with the green; here's the next one, ready to start ...  Looks a bit familiar, doesn't it! ?? |

Subject: Testing New Registration Board
Posted by: Annie B
|
One of the things that's annoying about the otherwise brilliant Japanese kento method of registration, is that you have to allow an extra 1/2 inch or more of height and width for the kento cuts on every block, so you can't use the entire block for image area. I've decided to try the new registration boards from McClain's so that the kento is separate from my blocks and I can use the entire board for image only. For this first experiment I've used artist's tape for a kento rather than permanently cutting into the wood. Here's the block nestled into the registration jig.  I took a few proofs of the keyblock on some very thin Japanese paper, which I'll then paste onto fresh blocks to make color separations. Because the paper is so thin, I printed by rolling on waterbased Akua intaglio ink rather than using sumi ink the moku hanga style. That way I could print dry to avoid distortion of the delicate paper.  Before I paste the prints onto the new blocks I'll be refining some of the lines on the keyblock.

Subject: Mallorca
Posted by: JennifersCabin
  Family and the house etc have eaten my time, and a swollen leg slowed me down. The leg is on the mend finally and energy levels are returning. (If you are taking statins and feel tired and aching.. then STOP the pills!). We had a three generation family holiday on the north west coast of Mallorca in glorious weather. Picture of busy artists (the grandchildren) attached together with my effort. [Long item has been trimmed at this point. The full blog entry can be viewed here] |

Subject: Susanna and The Voyeurs (2)
Posted by: Sharri
When I posted Susanna the other day I somehow neglected to send the photo which could be enlarged. I hope I've corrected that this time. Susanna has been a big hit and was sold at the First Friday Art Walk. This state was printed 11" x 17" and hand color with watercolor & color pencil. The paper is Digital Media archival with Epson Archival inks. Once again, that wide format printer has paid off, by golly. |

Subject: Turn Your Photo into Art!
Posted by: Amie Roman

I know, heard it all before, haven't you? Not like this. Nancy at Atelier Conti on Etsy, one of our Printsy members, has an offer to turn your photograph into a photogravure etching.  So what? Well, what about some of those fabulous old family photos you've got stored away in your closet? Or one of your wedding photos? How about a pic you snapped on your recent vacation that just captured the moment perfectly? Turn it into a hand-pulled print, and you don't even have to do the printing! Contact Atelier Conti for details. I'm going to rummage through my photos to see what I can come up with :) PS - she's also got a B&B just east of Paris, France in Montmirail; check out Maison Conti. Ah, if only I had airfare...  |
