Shouldn't the things in parenthesis say Reproductions of original drawings, paintings, etc.? I think that if it is a repro, it should not be called a print. I am referring to the text below: Thanks for the opportunity to discuss this. <br /><br />"(reproductions of original works)<br />. Drawings (prints of original drawings)<br />. Mixed Media (prints of original mixed media art)<br />. Paintings (prints of original paintings)<br />.

I appreciate the passion behind each artist's chosen medium.

I sell primarily linocuts, as do alot of other Printsy sellers. I do think that people are shopping for linocuts and know what they are - the more advanced processes, well maybe not so much. I'd love to see linocut in there someone still. Thanks!Studio 27https://www.blogger.com/profile/06045379694147676634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1701978292976061741.post-1945317311964296372010-01-14T01:18:29.826-08:002010-01-14T01:18:29.826-08:00Were I shopping on Etsy, I wouldn't think to s...Were I shopping on Etsy, I wouldn't think to search for 'relief print' unless 'woodcut', 'woodblock', 'linocut' had already failed as searches...David Harrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16835386772602496312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1701978292976061741.post-48676952643915002492010-01-13T15:26:04.633-08:002010-01-13T15:26:04.633-08:00I think it's a step in the right direction, to...I think it's a step in the right direction, too.<br /><br />bobbi c.Bobbi A.

I'm sorry the level of discussion is, um, a bit rabid in the forums. I posted because I thought the 'hand-pulled prints' could do with a mixed media subsection. Where would you put something which involved different types of printmaking, or printmaking and collage (I mean more collage than chine collé).<br /><br />I also note that the sections are larger than the current tags. 'Relief print' rather than 'linocut' and 'woodblock', for instance. Just an observation...<br /><br />I think this is a move in the right direction.minouettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12698448500324207741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1701978292976061741.post-86680945166420825022010-01-13T04:39:10.581-08:002010-01-13T04:39:10.581-08:00I think this could be really good for all the Arti...I think this could be really good for all the Artists on Etsy, but especially us Printmakers.
