To get to the point, my favorite part of this post is that you are keeping your lovely picture! I always think any especially successful project must be gifted to a friend or relative, and have had the embarrassing experience (twice!) of admiring an objet d'art in the home of a relative I don't see very often, and being told that I gave it to them. No wonder I liked it.

I taught workshops this summer, kids and adults on making paper jewelry.
