dictionaries into beautiful papers.

straight or free-form
to arrange in the most beautiful, balance, meaningful
way
to alter colors, so diverse pieces co-ordinate &
look like they belong
to include buttons, keys, ribbons, lace & other
dimensional or non-paper items
which paints work best & why
which gold & metallic colors look richest
best sources for all supplies. If you want small
amounts to take home, I will have them available at my cost.

paper, you should bring a water-resistant surface to support your paper. (Or you can buy
