The inks used are Canan Lucia inks which are superior archival inks.Paper - There are so many paper choices out there! Seriously, it's overwhelming and and it can be hard to know what you are getting until the print is in your hand. I want you to be confident about your choice, so i am going to do my best to describe each one! I did a lot of research and practice runs and finally found my favorite papers that give great colors and quality! The Archival Matte Paper - Thickness/Weight: 9.5 mil / 230 g/m This paper is a true Matte and in my personal opinion gives the most vibrant colors and contrast of the three paper choices. It is Acid free, has a very smooth surface and the paper is flexible - meaning it's not being printed out on anything that feels like card stock. The Satin Luster Paper - Thickness / Weight: 11 mil / 300 g/mThis paper maintains a traditional "E surface" finish- the standard photographic finish. I would consider it "Semi-gloss". The colors and contrast also come out very crisp and clear. It is slightly more dense then the Matte paper, but still very flexible with a smooth surface. The Textured Matte Paper: Thickness/ Weight: 21 mil / 310 g/mThis paper is really fun. It's noticeably textured and to me has the look of canvas with the feel of traditional watercolor paper. The paper is pretty dense- so it is thicker and not as flexible as the other two paper choices. It is also a true Matte and the colors and contrast look great!***Packaging*** Any original or print is packaged in an archival plastic sleeve and supported between cardboard sleeves to ensure safe transport to your doorstep. Large prints or international shipping addresses may be shipped in in a sturdy corrugated shipping tube.

The featured reader at the Feb, 12 event was Kirk Lumpkin, a friend and supporter of Rudge for 30 years, Lumpkin reminded fellow poets of the long and successful life Rudge had, and watercolor ballet pointe shoes glicee print, converse, chucks, ballet wall art, girls room, girl positive art the many people she helped and inspired through her art and poetry, Lumpkin read two of his poems, “True Celebration” and “The Arc of the Heart,” that Rudge published in an anthology, “Flaunt Peace in the Face of War.”, In “True Celebration,” Lumpkin said: “Let us face one another in true communication, affirmation, adoration, honoring all life, Let us be dancers, ghost dancers, fire-of-life dancers, and in our time, let us make peace.”..

In “The Arc of the Heart,” Lumpkin said: “What if all the extinct animals in the world secretly burned in our memory, calling us to live for them, remember them? For deep in our genetic code they still have a stake in us, and we in them. All that is lost cannot be restored, but in the arc of the heart, lies memory and love.”. Diana Rudge read two of her poems and reminded the audience that Rudge’s children also wrote poetry and enjoyed it. Her poems were dedicated to her mother’s memory and her friend, Vince Villalobos.

Many of Rudge’s close friends told stories of traveling with her and reading poetry in different venues throughout the world, Poet Richard Angilly recalled how much Rudge loved adventure and travel, “She just loved to go to places most people wouldn’t want to go or might experience fear,” Angilly said, “Not Mary, Once we were invited to read watercolor ballet pointe shoes glicee print, converse, chucks, ballet wall art, girls room, girl positive art poetry and perform dances in Morocco and we were in Fez, On our many travels throughout the world, Mary would often wander off, and we couldn’t find her..

“It happened in the town of Fez in a very large and crowded souk, or a market that is so large it is a labyrinth,” he continued. “We couldn’t find Mary in one of these. So we were searching everywhere, even calling the police to help in our search. In these large markets, they put colored string all around the edges, so in order to find your way home, you must follow a certain color of string. We couldn’t find Mary because we couldn’t even find our own way out. Finally a young boy brought Mary to us, and she said, ‘See I told you the children would save me.'”.

Poet watercolor ballet pointe shoes glicee print, converse, chucks, ballet wall art, girls room, girl positive art and teacher Betsy Norris read her poem about Rudge’s signature high top red tennis shoes from the perspective of a student in the library, “Lady, your shoes are too loud for the library,” said Norris, and those in the audience laughed at the memory of Rudge’s flamboyant and colorful style, Tony Pino, poet and English professor at Ohlone College, read his poem, “A Cleansing Rain” in Rudge’s honor: “I need a cleansing rain, one that pounds as it pours off the skin of humpback whales, or ricochets off the deer hiding behind trees, chasing foxes hiding in thickets, yes, that kind of rain … ”..

Ojibway poet and musician Dave Holt read Rudge’s poem, “Oh Children, Mother Just Wanted to Be a Poet” and brought the crowd to tears. He recounted the story of when Rudge heard Louis Lamour read poetry at her school in Oklahoma as a young girl, and how pivotal this event was in her decision to become a poet and artist. “Mary loved us,” said poet Nina Serrano said. “Mary just loved all of us, and that was the basis of her life, and her poetry. After all, she calls us luminous. And she loved Alameda. I know this, because I read her new book, ‘Jack London’s Neighborhood’ two and one-half times. This book is a testament to her love for Alameda, and interwoven throughout is her participation in Alameda.
