Ever since Kaitlyn learned to make paper flowers at Seneca's Summer Camp, she had been urging me to take lessons from her. I had been so tired lately due to my poor back that I kept postponing and postponing, until I could postpone no more. So we had this "lesson" on a quiet Saturday afternoon.

| Here's Kaitlyn cutting up some paper to make the flowers. |
 |
| Mackenzie found some pom poms and decided to do a picture on paper plates. |
 |
| Kate tried in vain to separate the paper to show the petals... I guess we used the wrong sort of paper. =( |
 |
| Mackenzie's finished art work... |

I also tried out a paper flower that I learned from
Jane Austen's Sewing Box. And since it's from that book, I can say that this paper flower is at least 200 years old... at least the technique is. I like the result, but think that it will turn out better if I had used the correct material.
