We are just about finished - a week of initial checks of various sorts, trying to ensure that things run smoothly further in; a week of massed sorting, involving a cast of thousands (well, hundreds (oh alright, but many)); finally a week of boxing up, packing out, sealing (even without allowing for all that parcel tape that gets tied up round itself in sticky, sweary tangles, Cathy and I got through so many rolls of the stuff!), addressing, lugging to the post office, weighing, more than one sharp intake of breath at accumulated costs, and finally - finally - for us at least the job is done. I confess to being appallingly weary right now, and left to myself I think I just might stay in bed tomorrow morning, but alas the tiler is due. Oh well, it'll wear off and the tiles will look great.
Next up will be the Under the Bed Sale at Hot Bed Press (scuze the poor photo - too big to scan),

where we twenty-twentyers will each receive our box of prints. In spite of adding the final print (everyone gets one of their own in the set) to the 50 Hot Bed Press boxes, I was unbelievably virtuous and didn't rifle through them to see who will get what. Of course, it helped that I did that job with Jacqui, but I like to think that I would have been equally good all on my own. Surely.
Hot Bed Press run the Under the Bed sale every year - the premise is that we the printers can offload all sorts of works of art. The ones that were nearly there but maybe we felt just missed the mark in some small way; the ones that have been hanging around for so many years now that we quite fancy seeing the back of them however good they might be; the ones that are excess to requirement or that we lost interest in or that we just would like to contribute out of the goodness of our hearts. Some of the money made goes to the artists and some to Hot Bed Press towards equipment, supplies - every little helps on both sides of the deal, and on top of that the buyer gets to take home beautiful images, to keep or to give. Come along and find some bargains, see the studio, talk to the printmakers. It's always fun.
