still learning

I truly believe that you are never too old to keep learning.  It's what keeps your mind sharp and your spirit young.  This last weekend I had the opportunity to take a paper making class through the local arts council.  I had a blast.  The instructor was nationally know paper artist Dennis Morris.  He was full of knowledge and absolutely fascinating to watch.  Of course we had to get our hands wet too.

the pulp and additional color added ala Jackson Pollock


smaller screens for indoor use, perfect for beginners

wet and messy, what fun
