There is no Art before Coffee!

Who knew coffee was such an important papermaking tool? According to my friend Laurie, it most emphatically is - especially when one forgets to turn the heaters on in the studio early enough. Technically then, this could be part of the "Artisanal Hands" set... :)

I'm not entirely happy with the flesh tones here, but it's the best I can do. Between Laurie's pale hands and the mixed (fluorescent lamps and cloudy sunlight) light, I could only get close.
