laurels & more laurels

This is the HTML (i.e., non-massive-file) version of my poem for Baroness Anne-Marie.

Now if I can just persuade someone to illustrate some imprese for me . . .

By illustrait do you mean make the block print? Were they ususally done in wood block or off of engravings?

Wood block.

But I meant redraw some other stuff so I can turn my imprese handout into an article without engaging in blatant copyright violation. (In the massive free time we all have . . . )

Hmm. I would have offered to do a block print for you because it would be fun. But why can't you do the re-drawing? I seem to recall you being totally capable of it... :-) So on a side note, should you want to do another I will make a block print for you. In all of my copious free time. :-)

I am capable but slow. Slow like a sick turtle . . .

Block print sounds fun, though. It can go into the folder of "proposed joint scribal projects."

Oh also, your handout shouldn't have copyright problems if your aren't selling it and are not taking entire books - educational fair use is alive and well, especially as you are not an accredited university and are doing this for a non profit organization. At any rate that is how I justify all of the pics of glass I use in my handouts. We had a lawyer come talk to my studio art seminar class about this sort of stuff and you should be just fine. :-) Now all of the pictures I took of objects in my museum while in DC that Suze is putting up on the website are another issue, but I doubt they will ever be seen by the museum. And I was working for rights and reproductions too, how entertaining...

I'm not worried about handing it out, but sticking it on my website seems a little sketchier.
