My papermaking venture turned out quite well yesterday.
I began at around 9 am, letting the pulper work it's magic on my pink cotton and recycled paper.
I had to crank the pulper blades down every once in a while, and it took until 4 pm for the pulp to be completely made.
The sheets turned out so lovely, they're a light pink with darker... Read More
The past few weeks has been a blur.
No a bad blur, but a blur.
I'm going to be 21 right after I come back from Thanksgiving and this is of endless excitement to me.
It won't change my life drastically, but will be great none the less.
Too bad I have tons of schoolwork due on and around my actual birthday.
Last night was strange and fun.
We bought some Molly, took a ton of it, and hardly rolled at all. It was pretty sad.
The strange part was sitting in a room full of drunk people, sunglasses and pink wig on, eyes closed, giggling about silly drunk problems because I felt so happy.
I bought a pink wig for Halloween.
I am not going to be anything in particular. I will probably wear pink lingerie, etc.
My best friend from home is coming up, and we will probably roll on Saturday night.
It will be awesome!

I didn't know that about not washing your hair making less oil get produced. But I have long believed in letting your hair have its natural oil so I wash it just every few days, and then I use very little shampoo, not enough to make suds. I'd be worried about dandruff accumulating if I didn't wash my hair at all but maybe you don't have that problem.
For maybe the 5th year in a row I probably won't have a costume I don't have a character concept for your pink wig but I think you should wear a miniskirt
So, last semester I began the grerat venture of making paper pulp sculptures.
This semester, I am taking Printmaking, and my professor has so kindly taught me how and is letting me use the real paper pulper/screens to make actual paper.
Now I can make my own sheets of paper, and have actual non-clumpy pulp for sculpting.
If I made sketchbooks with handmade paper would... Read More
