AEDM:day two

"in a pinch"

 papers that originally wrapped soap, origami paper scrap, 

beech seed pod, wooden beads, thread and 

handcrafted paper

i have a very full day ahead, and realized 

that the only time i could work on

today's AEDM project was early this AM.

with a mug of tea in hand, i pulled out my paper box and

shuffled through it for inspiration.

i pulled out a few items and played with placement.

then i ironed the paper flat and was 

delighted by the scent of sandalwood that rose from the iron!

a seed pod from my found objects collection, a few beads, 

and it was done. 

i am so glad i made time to do this.

it was spontaneous and fun.

and the quickness freed me from over thinking.

(and not my usual colors, either).

onward!
