Subject: Update and the Great Printing Party preview, prelude? pre-something...
Posted by: Maria

Where I am
Let's see, last time I mentioned that I had ordered a few sheets of paper to savor and sample before I decided which to choose for printing. Well, the boxes arrived and I really meant to take a peek inside but first I had to clear my work tables.
That, of course required that I finish unpacking the remaining city blocks on hand, photograph them, wrapped them back up, logged them and placed them in their "wait-boxes".
I am happy to say I have caught up on all the photographing and the blog will be very busy from now until all the blocks are published!

All that accomplished, I now have a clear table on which to spread the paper, touch and feel every sheet and then decide the winner for the city project. And I will get to that this weekend.

To do list
Next on the list is chasing down the stragglers. I am elated to report that at this writing I have only 12 blocks missing! This means that for certain there will be 101 participants.
I now have an extra clean block on hand to cut any substitutes I might need.
In the next two weeks I hope that I get at least half of those missing blocks back with carvings. If you are one of those stragglers, please think about just scratching a few lines on your block and sending it back! Or just send . . .

Subject: Midwest USA and an island in the Caribbean USA
Posted by: Maria

Mark Vosmeier from Fort Wayne, Indiana in the USA brings us this clever contribution.

Great design!

Diane Cutter out in the ocean in her wonderful island in Ceiba, Puerto Rico USA, writes this about her block:
?
Doors and windows always intrigue me, especially those of colonial Latin America. I wonder about the inhabitants' lives, past and present.  I'm always on the lookout for an opening to see a little bit of the life that goes on in those cool, shaded interiors.  The inspiration for this block was from a drawing I did many years ago of a private patio entrance of an Old San Juan home.
