another class has ended,

the moulds cleaned and felts washed and stacked neatly.

and i am happy with my class,

so many beautiful (in the richest sense) young people,

and my four mature students, also beautiful.

there was some leftover pulp

so after giving away all that was wanted

i brought the rest home for some kitchen papermaking,

aka making little papers.

the studio is equipped with lee mcdonald miniature laid and wove moulds

business card size: purchased during handpapermaking's auction one year.

and a 5 square inch mould from the paperwright, britt quinlin

on loan from slu.

aimee sent me a little stack of kozo papers.

this was my favorite,

it's now a nifty ball of kami-ito

turkey trot:

arrows going somewhere,

pointing or not to

wherever

they were atop one of the rises on my walk

disappeared into the woods

leaving behind evidence.

and a spruce near the highbush cranberry

seems to be the place where whomever eats the berries

spruce and cranberry

accidental

and partially eaten

christmas
