Tonight, about 15 people gathered in the Enabling Garden to learn how to make recycled paper embedded with pressed flowers and seeds. We used methods from Arnold E. Grummer's book,
Tin Can Paper-making: Recycle for Earth and Art.
It's an easy way to make lovely notepaper using a couple of tin cans, window screening, a blender, and some sponges.
Each person's notepaper was so lovely and unique. We borrowed the plexi-glass covering the Garden's mosaic wall to help dry our handmade paper. Once dry, folks were able to take their creations home with them and my hope is that they will try this at home and share what they've learned with others!
