a visual journal
i’m using more of my weathered papers, waste paper, and shu xuan paper (a gift from friends~thank you!) that i painted and stamped on to make a small (about 4″ x 6″) accordion book of little paper weavings.
i haven’t done anything yet on the other side….
on 8″ x 10″ black cardstock.
i’m currently working on another project using my disintegration papers together with other papers ~ see disintegration 6
[for the story of this project, see previous post.] and find all the collaborators under the disintegration icon on the altered page.
here, in preparation for the reveal, is the story of my project. back in january, i joined a multitude of others embarking upon a creative collaboration with nature. in my case, it was nature in the form of wind, rain and sunlight, with a bit of dirt applied by the wind and rain.
as some of you may remember, i started with a small bundle of papers which i tied to a chair in my backyard. 
in february, this bundle flew away in a storm (along with our skylight) and was never heard from again.
dismayed but not defeated by my tempermental collaborator, i began again with a more securely-anchored bundle which, happily, stayed put until may 1, the end of our allotted time for weathering.
my papers were faded, dirty, and wavy~quite nice, i thought. i decided to weave a lot of them into one biggish piece. if you want to hear me whine about what happened with that, you can go here.
now it’s time for us all to share something we’ve made with our disintegrating materials. you may see the results of the entire multitude ~ look for the “disintegration” icon in seth’s sidebar at the altered page.
