   Gorgeous pictures! As a papermaker, I’m envious. I’ve done hornets’ nests, but it’s impossible to duplicate the intricate patterning of nature’s papermakers.

   These are interesting, Sherry, as was your correspondence with Harry.

   Thanks, Harry, for the link and Helen for the kind comments. I love the 3-D quality you see in the photos. Gin — I’ve seen some of your baskets that might rival this.

   Neat, Gin! Do you have a diary where you tell how you managed that?

   That hornet’s nest is fab.

   Thanks for asking, Sherry. There is an extended entry in my journal (several days in June 2004) about creating the nest.

   And thanks, Harry. Stopped by your blog and love it! May I place a link on my website?

   Yes, of course! Links are (almost) always flattering.
