Thank you so much for taking Let’s Craft: Coiled Paper Portrait. I believe that art is a way to clear our minds of all the daily clutter and hopefully you were able to clear some of that clutter away today. Here are a few things to look at to explore what we did today and some other information.

Today we:

1. Learned how to create coils from paper
