The Sunday Paper #287
November 24, 2019
As I proofread this issue of the blog, I’m enroute to Japan, and I invite you to follow my adventure on Instagram.
Greeting card by Mario Armengol made from one sheet, in my collection, probably purchased at MoMA in the 80’s.

I’m excited to run the second annual Weave Through Winter online class again, starting January 16th and ending on Valentine’s Day. I’m going to add a new element this time – since this is a 30-day class, there will be 30 prompts. Above you see my response to a prompt to “weave two papers together that you would never consider pairing”. I took a map and wove a piece of striped batik lokta paper into it. Intrigued? Read more and sign the ‘first to find out more’ list. Registration opens very soon!

I was delighted to receive a review copy of the new children’s board book, Always Be You, by Ioana Stoian. This colorful, rhyming board book celebrates and accepts each and every child, just as they are. Messages of love, acceptance, empathy, inclusion and diversity are paired with fun, unique hand-cut paper illustrations, cut by hand from Ioana’s handmade paper by artist Dawn M. Cardona.
It’s a new book week! I received a complimentary copy of The Weaving Explorer, because I’m a spotlight artist in the book. The is a how-to book about weaving all sorts of materials, from yarn, to wire, to paper! There are several paper weaving projects.
I might argue to skip wrapping paper altogether, but here are some cool designs by artists for a good cause.
