"Love" Block Print
working on the final "love" block print... 18 prints and only 3 are passable.... two colors is difficult... Now I know why these things are so expensive. For every print you see the artist has thrown away a dozen...
Printing on Rice Paper
Tested a very expensive sheet of Japanese block printing paper today. Remarkable for how soft it was. there in lied the difficulty! Getting it on and off the block without it folding in and smudging the edges was nearly impossible. Only one good print in the six...
The 1/2=0 is slogan I came up with for a line from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous "Half Measures Availed us Nothing.... in other words half the effort did not yield half the results. Half in yielded no results. It isn't really my experience with the program but I like the idea that the more you put in the more you will get out of the program, or anything really. My experience though is that a lot can be gained from doing a little prayer work, attending a few meetings and doing some step work.... lots of people cost until they fully get it.
A good video about print making papers
Very good video regarding the differences between popular print making papers.

Preparing for a new series of watercolor portraits of people I admire
Marian Anderson
The aim in life is "not to be a party to a thing which,
when the God Lord calls you, you won't have an
answer." 1957
Anderson extends her advice not just to race relations but all aspects of human society, urging people to reach out to any "black sheep" relatives they have and try to understand them, for in so doing they may very well "save a soul."
I think she was talking about learning to accept people on a human level.
