Scribbled Lives 2023 - Paper - Dr Seuss

This week's challenge was to use paper - something we haven't used before or something laying in our stashes... I choose to use my Elephant hide paper. I have 2 weights and the heavier paper I use for bookbinding, but I haven't used the lighter weight... It's something I was hoarding since it is a bit pricey to just experiment with it... but I bit the bullet and it's beautiful to write on.
