Todd Bartel's Comments

Thanks Todd, I started to really dislike what I was doing and took a break. I seem stuck lately and have not been on this site for some time. Your work has inspired me maybe I can start to finish some of the pieces that have been sitting now. Glad you shared the weirdness of the bug thing. Crucified was apt.One question, Do you construct you own boxes? I used to be a carver, primitive, and also did large carved signs which I boxed in. My issue now is the price of framing, simply can't swing it on the large pieces.

You're too kind.

Thank you.

I use a silicon release paper that is used in bookbinding.  Think it is the same thing?

Thanks, Todd, appreciate your comment --- and so great to see your work here, it's really wonderful!

do you ever tint the glue wash? that's what I'm thinking now.......

I am honored that you were moved to write me. Your work is very engaging and beautiful; your hand is wonderfully light......I am particularly moved by Le Sognera del Sempre. A wonderful use of the odd fellows! What is your connection to Italy? How do you do what you do with glue washes? I have many questions!

All best, Janine
