I made this paper while at university, so it's likely 18 years-old. I have kept it all of these years, partially because it was painstakingly made from artichoke pulp that I cooked down in my studio apartment, but partially because I knew it would be a part of something more beautiful one day. Such as carefully slicing then weaving delicately to create a rough pattern. The fibers were so brittle, but the effect of the layering is lovely.

Coloring with my children has become a part of every day life. Whether we are using coloring pages or blank sheets, art is always a given in our daily schedule. I've realized that over time, especially throughout lockdown, their confidence in creating has grown solid and this, I think, will translate well into other things as they enter school age years. Let's face it, I love the creativity as well. It's a bit different than I'm used to! Yay for coloring!
 Found these two discarded or lost tweed heart shapes in the mud at Ferry Meadows. Now they have been washed, dried, packed with dried lavender from the garden–a new life.
