papered weekend

 focus on shifu
handmade paper
connection 
and
making whole
two little snippets of lokta, 
one indigo one not
greeted new shifu workers at




black walnut also made an appearance 









 there were even some special presents for me


 there was some healing 
gathered in the web of shifu

books to hold our work
our thoughts 





samples from home 

playing with teeny tiny niddy noddy 

some lovely drop spindles with 
whorls high and low 


stump innovations 

nancy's desk 




 a book with an african soul 
blue nails 
 and smiles

  11. Must [sheepishly] admit, Velma, that I've not really ever had the desire to work with *paper* like this ... but ... hmmm, so much within your post appeals. Drat!

    Your smiles are telling ;>]]
