Making Paper: The Start – Harvesting plants
Since taking a workshop back in July 2010, I’ve been seriously contemplating creating my own paper from start to finish. This is the year to go for it! I’ll be utilizing a couple of books written by Helen Hiebert, an amazing paper artist in Portland (and the one I took a Paper in 3D classContinue reading “Making Paper: The Start – Harvesting plants”
Completed Bamboo Leaf Paper Box
Over the month of July I was slowly working on a commissioned box. Cheryl had really enjoyed the creation made for a mutual friend and wanted one made for her husband’s birthday. The size is smaller but the overall motif very similar. Below are the images of the finished box: 12″ x 10″ x 4.5″Continue reading “Completed Bamboo Leaf Paper Box”

A day off
Here I thought my Monday would be a good day to regain energy for jumping into the new week of creating. Instead, I spent most of my morning and afternoon worrying about George’s vet report, which turned up nothing.

Book Box Experiment
After an artist friend died in January, a group of her friends gathered to put together a special book for her family. I took on the job of creating a box to house the book.
