the papermaker.
i have always had a great love of paper
especially handmade
each piece unique
the feel, the smell, the beauty,
the unlimited opportunities
to decorate it, to write and draw and paint upon it,
to fold it, to cut it, to wrap with it, to read from it, to create with it.
the short film below is a glimpse into the life of an artisan
who is also passionate about paper.

“The Papermaker“ is a short documentary about one of the last handcrafting papermakers in Europe and his great love for paper. Gangolf Ulbricht makes unique tree- free papers by hand. For international artists, conservators, photographers, printers and many more. He learned his uniqe craft in Germany, Japan, France and England. In this short film we see him producing his fine paper in his basement studio in the Arthouse Bethanien in Berlin-Kreuzberg. He talks about his love and dedication for this craft – and it ́s future. Gangolf has worked for a number of known artists like: Jenny Holzer, Louise Bourgeois, Guenther Uecker, Jonathan Meese, Damien Hirst, Christiane Baumgartner, Matthias Weischer and many more.

solved.
update
for those who wondered
right along with me
how i would solve
this puzzle
when the symmetrical framing
was
quite possibly built upside down
on a table too small to turn the puzzle
i opted
not to
turn the table or tear down the walls or the house
instead
i accepted
the opportunity
of the additional challenge
offered up
and just built it upside down.
solved.

brighter.
no students today
teachers get together to talk and play
and
to see how it feels for our kids
as we encourage them to experiment
to play with the process
rather than make a project
for the pure joy of creation
we try out materials
with no expected outcome
just for the chance to see what will happen
when we are finished
we share what we’ve made with each other
and as it happens
each one is a beauty in its own way.

welcome to my fairy garden, one and all.
nothing i love better
than to see
children, adults, pets, families
in
wagons
strollers
on foot
on bicycles
walking
running
skipping
being carried.
stopping by
to pay a visit
to the fairy garden
in all four seasons.
chatting
playing
smiling
bringing gifts
acting out stories
taking tokens
noting changes
moving things
telling secrets
making memories
leaving special things behind.
spending a little quiet time
with the fairies
before they head
back into life
in a
busy grown-up world.
—
child of the pure, unclouded brow
and dreaming eyes of wonder!
though time be fleet and I and thou
are half a life asunder,
thy loving smile will surely hail
the love-gift of a fairy tale.

“what I lack in brilliance, i more than make up for in glitter” -josh stern
working on an art project
quiet
early morning
soft music
warm coffee
colors
paper
scissors
glue
feathers
jewels
stickers
words
ideas
glitter
and
somehow
just a dash of
glitter in my coffee.
