The finished results were beautiful
It’s child’s play…
we had to ‘surf’ on the wooden board to make the paper flatten evenly

Some looked like jewels pressed into the pulp
We began to get more confident and started pressing the materials we had found in the garden

Nik put all her effort into the demo and we were amazed at the speedy results
We were given instruction as to how to begin… not everyone was listening!
