Exploration


So I've been exploring with paper on water.  I was shocked to learn how quickly paper sinks!  My first attempt was from my kayak on a pretty windy day.  The paper sank before I could maneuver the kayak in place to photograph it.   So,  how to keep the paper from sinking so fast!  Starch was an obvious candidate.  While I was rummaging in the cabinets for the laundry starch, I found Fabric Stiffy!  If the starch wouldn't work, then surely Fabric Stiffy would.  Humm....
