Lisa, I haven’t but I would really really like to some day! Great idea from the museum too! Thanks for your comments!

Do you have an easy recipe? I can remember going to the museum a long time ago. While there I took a very short class on making paper. While the “paper”was still wet, we added different textures to it. When it dried, it was ready to be framed!

I personally find the greatest joy when using just few simple supplies. One subject that I want to cover more in the near future is freeform cutting with scissors. To be prepared for that you might want to create some decorated papers first!
