New Orleans Fiber Artists Papermaking Workshop

On Saturday, June 27th, the New Orleans Fiber Artists gathered for a Papermaking workshop. Each of the artists brought materials to place in the blender. The artists also brought a variety of extra items to add to the pulp on screens. Here are photos from the papermaking process.

Eventually I came to a break in the trail. It simply ended at a levee. So from the top of the levee I took some photos as I turned a full 360. And with that I started back the way I came. To view some close up shots of my journey, visit my other blog pic folio.











Yellow Hiker Trail

Once across the bridge, I noticed two signs. One was for a hiker trail and the other one was for a horseback riding trail. Up until that point the trails were combined















The Bridge

This time I decided to go straight ahead across a bridge. It is over a canal covered in algae. I shot some panoramic photos.















NAD Trail

Having reached an intersection of several trails, I chose to follow the NAD Trail that is marked green. I never did find the World War II Magazines on the trail, however. Eventually I wound up at the same intersection of trails.

Tall Cypress Trees

As I continued my journey, I kept photographing the tall cypress trees reaching for the sky. The sky was beautiful with few clouds. These were taken sometime after 3 p.m.
