paper making

Paper making last week was really sweet. I thought the process was extremely interesting and that you can make paper out of your own clothes. I feel like the paper is just more meaningful because it. Like the combat paper. I think that was a cool way to commemorate those that fight for our country. Interesting though to think since regular paper is made from trees and trees support life here. I guess we really just take paper for granted. Weird. But yes back to paper making. As well as being an interesting process, it was just really fun to do in general. Dragging the screens through the mixture, trying to get enough material. I also really liked how you could add things to the paper, making different designs and adding colors. It was cool to watch other people too. To see what their ideas were and what they were adding to the paper. I'm really excited to see how mine turned out. I'm hoping to incorporate it into my chap book. I think that will be fun and a little challenging as well. Trying to revise some of my poems is going to be difficult and I'm curious to see what will be the final project. I'll probably work on it over break. Yes! break is almost here and that makes me a happy camper. The weather here is turning into a buzz kill for me. I never realized how much I love the sun till I came to school here. I've been looking at the forecast for the week and I am glad to say it is going be in the 70s all week. Not too hot and definitely not cold but just right. I can see it already and as far as I'm concerned, I'm already there.
