Be Inspired - Paper

What better life-wish could there be than to discover our creativity, to cultivate our creativity, and then to live from our creativity.

  6. I went into a paper-making phase once, and it was amazing how many things paper is made out of--almost any plant material could me mulched together to make different textures and smoothness--it's so fun.

  7. So pretty! I love how are can be extremely complicated, or just one simple though- a second look, really, at something so mundane to put a peculiar or interesting spin on it!
