friday and satuday were paper mill days. louise and josh are getting married, so they want some paper for invites and a book. regan came along to help and to grow some ideas.

we set up two vats, one unbleached abaca

one with cattail and fern inclusions

friday was a steep learning curve

but by saturday they were comfortable

and into production

regan made several straight sheets, and then...

louise couching

josh pulling

regan

and where regan's work went

she made two scrolls,

abaca and black walnut dye

louise marveling

drying on boards in the sun

sustenance

regan brought lots of chocolate

looking

satisfaction
