Haystack Part Two, belated

I've been out and about every single day and night, so I can't even keep up on what happened weeks ago! Haystack has already zoomed out of focus, but here's an attempt to grab it by the tail. Back on the papermaking deck.

Seaweed inclusions in abaca

 Calligraphy ink on bark lace

 Katie with her heavily joomchied hanji

 Peggy got cord making immediately!

 Michele collected, donated, and chopped avocado seeds for dye

 Jona's station, with brazilwood-dyed hanji and lots of other goodies

 Michele had this lichen form cut at the Fab Lab

 I love Peggy's handwriting—these are her dye samples

 Saturday night, lobster picnic, always

 Jona holds her dyed hanji, Susan admires

 Susan couching paper

 I dyed two bundles of hanji cords with brazilwood

 Sunsets, beautiful, always

 The teaching board grows

 Sunset from a boat

 SEALS from a boat!! If it wasn't so loud, we could have gotten closer

 Jona is such a pro, though I have found the Icelandic artists at Haystack to always be wonderful.

 Mary Ellen was busy making these for all of us with bark lace

 My dye sample sheet in progress

 Lauren cast lots of birds and lace

 Mary Ellen made this topographical map out of paper using the Fab Lab (more on that later)

 Katie's nighttime production: suminagashi on kozo

 I tried to finish the last of the pulp so that the vats were empty so things got crazy at the end

Jona's thread tearing was very popular! More to come.
