This is what paper mache looks like after you leave it out for a week and a half. I think it is beautiful. It reminds me of powder or paint. It is amazing to me how nature chooses to break things down and how quickly. It is a great reminder of how temporary things are and beautiful change can be. The Japanese celebrate the aged, worn down quality of objects in their art. Its an idea that I've come to appreciate, only recently: an acceptance that not everything has to stay new to stay beautiful.
