Small, experimental sheet of paper with a mildly coarse texture and brightly colored yarn/thread inclusions sprinkled at the top and bottom. Text reads "Happy New Year fellow Papermakers"

Artist's Statement: "This is bleached, overbeaten flax with yarn added for fun! The flax had been hidden in the back of my papermaking refrigerator for probably at least a year and required a fair amount of coaxing & beating to revive it! After pulling the sheets I lay them in my book press with about 1/3 hanging over the edge to encourage shrinkage. I pressed & exchanged dried the sheets for 2 days with satisfactory results."
