Re: Gum Prints on wood

[Rajul <eyeear@telus.net>]

Keith,

Your gum-on-wood prints were seen by 3 generations, members of 2 of  
which were ardent ballet practitioners! They were uniformly admired  
by all.

I second the view that uniformity in (color) rendering would  
undermine the spontaneity and surprise element which endows each work  
with its own joie de vivre.

Is there any reference where you describe your experience to date  
with this medium in toto?

Thanks for sharing.  Rajul
