craftgrrl | Handmade Paper Goodness

We made paper in my Plants and Human Well-Being Class yesterday

Sorry for the crappy pic, but thats what a poor college student with poorer parents can give you XD These aren't all the pieces I made, they just illustrate the colors. The red hearts are the excess pulp from the red sheet you can see in the bottom. The blue is sort of a faded grover-blue. And that blob of undistinguisable light color is sort of a pink vomit color, speckled with various other colors. Just like vomit. It's pretty and disgusting at the same time. Some day I'll have a digital camera that shows colors better. Or I'll flatten all the paper and scan it. Either way, the red came out pretty close, the blue is washed out, and the pink vomit is.. not showing as pink vomit XD

Anyway, thanks to a class called "The Art of Horticulture" (last semesteR) I am back in touch with my crafty side, and i'm so glad I remembered how much I love crafting... Because I realize that not crafting was part of why I was so darned depressed all the time! Plus it helps me cope with my mom's death (she died a few weeks ago). Yay for craftiness!
