Getting Ready for Brooklyn

 I had spoken to Tom a few days ago, and today I began the process of getting ready to show some prints in his booth in Brooklyn later this month.  Tom said to pick any two from the set.  All are printed, but some are slightly flawed, smudges and stray ink around. And the most recently printed is not perfectly dry yet.  It may be in time.  So while I have an idea of what I want to send, what I do send may depend of what I can get to suitable condition.  I have a few days to decide, so early next week I guess.  Meanwhile I took all of them out of rack and looked them over.  I also went ahead and signed, titled, and numbered all of them.   

Tom said he wanted them sent flat, which I can do.  I will put each print in a folder of glassine paper, and pack them in one of boxes I received paper in last year.  Some of the same paper I used to make the prints, so I know they will fit, and the paper all arrived safely at my house, so for now I'll assume it can deliver the prints safely to Tom in the midwest.  Today I removed the labels from one box and moved the paper that was in it to the other paper box I have.  It was also an opportunity to see what paper I had, since I do want to place an order soon.  Below is a shot of one of the boxes:

It's even printed with the description, "SMALL PIZZA BOX" though it unfortunately has no pizza. The paper I received was in plastic bags and spacers made from corrugated cardboard cut to the right size, so I may use some of those as well.  The box will need more taping of course, but that will wait until I put something in it.  Address labels will be added as well.  But so far this looks like it will work.  The box may come back to me (Tom tells me he will try to sell them, and may keep one as an example, but he may need to send something back) so it may have to make a few trips.
