paper building
Posted on November 19, 2010 2 Comments
I’ve started on a new project involving lots and lots of paper. As you know, I get quite distracted when embarking on a new experiment and I start thinking about things like architecture and insects.

Who remembers Beverly Cleary’s Ramona Quimby? The Ramona books were among my favorite in the third grade. And I loved the illustrations by Alan Tiegreen.
