Watercolor paper, high-quality drawing paper, and pastel papers are great media for our craft. Its inexpensive compared to wood or gourds, it is easily framed when finished, and its perfect for adding watercolors right over the burned work for a fully decorated piece.

Lab-grown Wood

 


Scientists have already figured out how to grow meat in a lab, nurturing animal cells to multiply into chicken cutlets and burger patties. Now, MIT researchers are hoping to do the same with wood, to quickly produce in a lab what would take decades to grow in nature.
