By popular demand (well, one person demanded), I leave you with a picture of the handmade paper the children made at the workshop run by the Plant Craft Cottage at the Royal Botanic Gardens.
We're heading off for a few days R&R ... see you later.
That paper is gorgeous. As are the little nativity animals further down the page - I'm going to add you to my bloglines so I don't miss anymore of this prettiness.
How did they get such beautiful shades? My children did that Plant Craft Cottage a few years ago and before that I did a whole day's workshop. However, I still have it all in a drawer as I don't know what to do with it - any ideas?
I'm finally getting caught up on your blog. I always look forward to seeing all the colorful pictures, and being inspired by your creations.
I crochet, but would like to learn to knit. Is there is good web site that would teach me how to do some basic stitches? Do you think if I learned some basic stitches would I be able to make some of the fruit? Or would I need to knit for a while to be able to make those?

Lovely colours and texture !
I remember when I used to make paper .. wow ...so long ago ...
This is much nicer.
Pretty pretty - will have to keep an eye out for something like this when my kids are old enough.
I remember L making paper, long ago now. But I have it still.
Lovely paper- colours are so pretty.
Enjoy your R & R!
I want to lear how! The paper is so nice. Soft colours.
But an actual commercial paper making plant smells awful!
Thank you for acceding to my impertinet request.

Nice work! Hope the break is fun.

Those colours are exactly the shades I wish the walls in my house were painted. Soft and rich and very welcoming.
Good colours and texture....I want to play now.
Everything here on this blog is just lovely. I always want to stick my hand through the screen and feel everything.
Have a lovely holiday.
Oh, I am soo envious! I want to make some pretty pretty paper..and have a few days r-and-r, but I'd settle for just the paper!
