Now about those mirrors – I think I figured out how to finish them. I attached a 4″ round mirror to the back with E6000 glue (which would adhere an elephant to a Volkswagen) and then covered the mirror and the rest of the back with Mexican Amate paper made from three bark. It’s as strong as fabric but more suitable because it doesn’t slide around as much. Here’s what it looks like – the tag is about 6″ long so you can see the size. OK – wrapping it up, happy weekend, everyone, and if you’re here in San Antonio, didn’t you enjoy this wonderful rain!
