piles of papers
Seth Apter has a call for paper stacks on his blog the altered page.  His photo of his stacks of papers looked great and I thought I can do that, it looks like fun.  I have lots of piles that could be made into stacks. What was I thinking?  I do have lots of piles of papers that don’t look so pretty.  I sorted through some prints that I did on tissue paper last week. I will share some pictures tomorrow.
