My body is so worn out, yesterday I worked all day packing and directing my crew then came home and cleaned gutters and bathrooms while Mable cleaned my tiny kitchen, pulling stove and fridge out and mopping behind both. What an exhausting day.

My head is burned at the moment with so many task. I afraid I won’t come up for air until July 01, 2025.

I applied for a grant won’t now until June 01 to go to Japan, what a dream. Yes, we ae closing Paper Circle last day is June 30th, 2025. We are finished with making and now are packing and running a sale.

I woke and dreamed of riding my bike into a very small community just like Nelsonville, and there was a small print shop with a small crew. They just completed a catalog of an art show they hosted. Ha, this is just what we have done. Our catalog is now available of the most recent show. “Works on Paper”. A great exhibition that can viewed online until June,2025 .www.papercircle.org I’ve loved spending the last 7 years of my life in this super small community making and teaching art. It’s been a dream job.

Don Adleta professor emeritus is working on a Paper Print Book Museum in the city of Athens,. Paper Circle is being sunsetted, equipment stored in the hopes of being a part of this dream someday. Ms Sara our founder, knew of this dream and was all in favor of it.

I’m looking forward to the possibilities the future holds. Building a home studio at present and hoping to experience Japan someday.

Beautiful weather in Southeast Ohio so off to the Farmers Market and coffee before headed back to Paper Circle.

Keep making art!

Keep being love, showing love wherever you find yourself in this crazy world.
