This semester is just about over. I'm finishing up papers as I type this. I cleaned out my paper making/book arts flat file and locker yesterday. Brought home a lot of great stuff to work with. I don't have much in the way of finished pieces to show, but here is a pulp painting I found buried in that flat file. I also finished a found object book made from an old telephone from the 50s. I unfortunately don't have pictures to show due to the fact that my teacher took it to put in a display cabinet. Eventually...

Also, I have been looking at a lot of Native American blankets for inspiration lately. Here is one of my favorites.
