Arts and Crafts...

There has been a "craft" that I have long wanted to try - making paper. Jayme and I had our first attempt on Sunday. She wants to make a guest book for a friend who is getting married and into artsy things and wanted to make it from homemade paper. We decided we needed some practice.

It's not nearly as messy as I thought and actually a lot of fun. We used my paper shredder remains and water to make the pulp. Unfortunately it resembled vomit. This look was not enhanced by the fact that we added it to a tub with more water in it.

Twin #1 strolls through and takes a look in the tub announcing that if that is dinner, he's not hungry. I told him that we were making paper and showed him the process. Always practical, he stated, "It was already paper before you murdered it."
