Coordinator's comments:

There are a variety of techniques and papers, colors, themes and styles. Each is a true delight, from the most complex to the simplest. Always there are participants who "apologize" for their clumsiness or simplicity or hurriedness and always those prints are equally delightful. The format, hoshoban, and the technique, moku-hanga, truly brings out the expert printmakers of Barenforum.org and their prints are poured over by the rest of us with admiring eyes.

There is little else I can say about this collection that can come close to looking at the prints "in person". As one participant said: "What a great set of prints! Each new page is another gem."

Thank you all,

Maria Arango
