7/15 /2008
In the interest of financial transparency and to show participants where my time and everyone's money goes, here is a full financial report of the project. I want to thank everyone who contributed above and beyond their own expenses; the extra contributions can be thought of "sponsorships" toward those participants who are unable to contribute as much.
Special thanks go to three participants in particular sent in a very generous gift to the project, Diane Cutter, AEleen Frisch and Wouter ten Broek. There were others who sent at least double what their own expenses would be, namely Barbara Mason, Charles Morgan, Daryl DePry, Dale Phelps, Doug Haug, Sue Salsbury and Jean Womack. Forgive me if I neglected to mention anyone. Everyone who sent more than their own expenses showed the spirit of the collaboration and I'm thankful to everyone.
Additional thank you to Barenforum.org for contributing generously to offset the deficit in finances at the end of the project. This organization is truly a champion of unification for all woodblock printmakers and the only one of its kind. We're in the green for the next one!
I will also mention here that Graphic Chemical & Ink awarded the project with a generous discount on the paper. Thanks Dean and Co.!
This will also be of interest to anyone who wishes to undertake this type of project. Feel free to contact me for details and guidance (or to talk you out of this insanity). All figures in US $.
