32 - USA Judy Tobie



I was unable to stop at one boat!
Such fun, I used to make these as a child in England and we made special large ones for party hats!
I have been a papermaker for about 25 years, I guess I’m addicted.
I am a member of the Yahoo papermaking group, a great bunch of supporters.

Here then are my 3 boats:
1. This one is hopefully self explanatory, it’s made from 3 dollar bills……..sailing off to save the day in Scotland!
2. The second one, all green with stars. This is made from ornamental Millet leaves collected from a farm nearby, with a little added abaca for strength.
3. The third one is made from a photocopy of collages I make to create some of my paper jewelry.

The best of luck to you Joanne with this project, I am a great fan and follow your adventures.

PS. A bookbinder friend just gave me all her ‘off-cuts’ of hand-marbled papers, so I just had to make envelopes for the boats.
