I have always been fascinated with paper. As a little girl I never wanted to use up the stash of stationery, origami, handmade, card stock, tissue, or even spiral notebook paper that I had acquired.
But once I let go I found a whole new world. Ahh, paper snowflakes, origami frogs, handmade cards to loved ones, and making awesome paper from my leftovers.
I forgot about most of that while in my teens, and college, and starting a family. Luckily as a stay at home mom I drew from my youth and my forgotten love surfaced again keeping my children occupied. They have moved on cultivating their passions, but I have continued to explore the world of making paper.
I try to use as much of discarded paper as possible. It hurts to see paper wasted in so many ways. As my shop will show, ugly ducklings really can turn into swans.
