As I cut and wrapped the last few inched of this piece, I was watching a DVD called SEED: The Untold Story. Its about the miracle of the seed and how vital they are to mankind's existence. The movie features seed savers from around the world and talks about the dark side of GMOs and big companies like Monsanto. It was so good, I plan to watch it again while I am giving it my full attention ( after all, these days I hear multi-tasking is ineffective)!
Although I am gathering my inspiration from images of plants, there is no plant without a seed.

What's better on a chilly Sunday than getting together with new and old friends to make art in a cool old building! I had three deckle boxes set up yesterday at Art@the Hynds gallery and I expected a few people to trickle in over the next 2 hours. Boom! At 2:00 there were over a dozen people ready to try their hand at paper making! I did a short demo and set them loose. Fortunately my friend and fellow paper maker, Win Ratz, was there and happily pitched in to help people with the process. Everyone got a chance to make several sheets of paper and experiment with a few interesting found fibers like okra and hollyhock. 
Sunday Series Success!
