What a beautiful, sunny summer day!
I spent as much time outside as possible today making paper, staining deck rails, and drifting on my floaty chair with a beverage and a couple of jewelry magazines.
Handmade willow bark paper. I mixed the processed willow bark with recycled kraft paper pulp. For more info on how I make my paper see my previous papermaking tutorials.
Here are the earrings I made today from re-purposed Canadian copper pennies.

| These ones are textured using a hammer and a brass plate from my scrapbooking days. The stones are a greenish turquoise. |

| Folded with ammonia and salt patina and turquoise nuggets. |

| Textured in the rolling mill and patina added with a torch. |
I'm not sure how some people manage to do a blog post every day but
I'll do my best to keep it up for the remainder of this self-challenge.
