The Oh! of Paper
I began making handmade paper little more than a year ago, as art therapy. I lost my beloved husband March 2006 and was battling depression. A friend invited me to attend the art class she was teaching.
I'd dabbled in arts and crafts all my life, but never considered myself an artist. I am a classical musician, clarinet being my primary instrument. So I was more than a little surprised to find a hidden talent in mixed media art.
I make paper from recycled shredded paper and added botanicals. I make greeting cards called CAST PAPER POCKET CARDS plus a variety of paper mosaic wall hangings.
