Papermaking at the Library

As an early Earth Day celebration, I taught a handmade recycled papermaking class today. I don't have any pictures of the actual class because I was elbow deep in paper pulp but I do have photos of the results here.

Welcome TLA Participants!

Hi gang! I hope you enjoyed Monique's presentation at TLA. If you have any questions about the Steampunk Journal, let me know.

I haven't been very diligent about keeping up this journal, but I promised to start actually using it so keep an eye on it.

For those of you who don't know me, my name is Darla and I am a wannabe Librarian. Right now, I work at the Atascocita Library as a Circulation Assistant (my official title) and Young Adult Program Coordinator (my unofficial title). I have been running a highly successful YA program for over 3 1/2 years. The title of this blog refers to the fact that I am 16 hours of Spanish away from starting my MLIS (feel free to poke me periodically or send messages of encouragement).

Previously, I spent quite a few years in professional theatre as an actor, stage manager, and director. For 10 years, I owned an art supply store called Eccentricities which sold supplies for bookbinding, rubber stamping, papermaking, altered books, and other eccentric notions.

I am a geeky, dorkalicious fangirl with interests in anime/manga, cult TV, paper art, and too many strange things to mention.

Any questions?
