To answer (I hope) Gretchen's concerns about a fair exchange of quality
in the Bakers Dozen collage exchange: there are two aspects here which
are impossible to legislate but which I think are most important. One
is the integrity and comradeship of artists. The other is pride. To
sign something, to send it out as an example of your work that you're
happy to be know by ..... this is not a light and trivial thing.
Sure, tastes differ, and working media differ too. If you took part in
the last exchange, or in any form of art swap, I'm sure you'll agree
that you like some pieces more than others, that some artists rise much
higher on your honour list than others. That's fine. All we can do,
all of us, is sign and send only what we're happy to be known by.
O.K.?
Dale
