Poor Richard is busy being busy so I offered to send out a notice about a meeting. We have Tuesday, September 27 or Tuesday, October 4 for a starting point. Can anyone/everyone makes those dates or do we need an alternative?

There is a bit of interest in gelatin printing (acrylic paint brayered onto a gelatin molded surface that becomes a printing plate, then objects placed on top or surface altered with textured objects or fingerpainted to achieve a monoprint). It is easy and fun and not very messy. Leslie and I both already have some gelatin type of plates made of some kind of alien product and I will make plates for anyone who will promise to show up. What you will need to bring is a brayer, acrylic paint, paper towels to clean off your "plate", objects, paint brushes (think in terms of making paste papers and how you might create textures). And paper. Don't think it matters what you use just not tissue paper. I will let you know the size of the "plate" once we have a date.

Richard said that he will send a translation of this email when he stops being busy being busy.

That's all for now.
Toodles,
Batsy
