I am really grateful that when I took a graduate printmaking class, my professor encouraged me to experiment printing on some lovely handmade paper she had in her supply closet. I may never have the chance to do so again and now I have four beautiful prints to display in my home. It didn't matter to her that I was a beginner or that my skill level might mess the paper up. Not sure if this has anything to do with this discussion and am certainly not trying to stir anything up but I am truly grateful Think I'll write her a note and pass that thought along.
