Renewable Energy Group Brings Community Together Around “Greener” Pennsylvania by Ashley Wetzel
On Mon, Aug. 15, Wilson College’s Fulton Center for Sustainable Living hosted the first meeting of the Franklin Renewable Energy Group (FRE). The FRE is a new group dedicated to educating the public about renewable energy. During the meeting, the FRE provided information on renewable energy production, energy efficiency, and sustainable living. The group hopes to bring further educational opportunities to those who wish to know more about solar, wind, and other forms of renewable energy. The FRE plans to hold monthly meetings, educational seminars, energy workshops and trips to renewable energy events. Wilson College also hosted the second meeting on Mon, Sept. 12 at 7:00pm At Allen Auditorium in Warfield. During the meeting, Chris Byers, of Advanced Solar Industries (ASI), presented a class on solar energy and law. The class covered the legal parameters of solar energy and the laws preventing further growth in renewable energy. The meeting also focused

on the “House Bill 1580” that could mean a greener Pennsylvania. This bill would allow for more of Pennsylvania’s energy to be fed by solar energy. The current goal for the FRE is to help facilitate the passing of HB 1580 through outreach to local legislative offices and public officials. When asked about the group’s overall mission, Byers commented, “Our group is still very young. Our mission is not perfectly clear yet, but nothing ever started without a first step.” The FRE will be attending the Pennsylvania Renewable Energy Festival in Kempton, Pa over the weekend. The Pennsylvania Renewable Energy Festival is a three-day festival about renewable energy, natural building construction, sustainable agriculture, alternative transportation options, land-use planning, forestry and healthier living. The group will also be attending the “Ride Solar” event in Lancaster, Pa. on Sat, Sept. 17. This event was organized by ASI. The event offers a choice of 15, 33, and 63 mile bike rides benefitting a community in Haiti still affected by the earthquake of 2010. All funds generated by the ride will go towards the rebuilding of the community and the addition of solar power. This event gives students from Messiah College the opportunity to carry out the installation process in Haiti. The FRE also plans to attend the U.S. Department of Energy’s Solar Decathlon judging in Washington, D.C. The decathlon challenges 20 collegiate teams to design, build and operate solar-powered houses that are cost-effective, energy-efficient and attractive. The judging will take place from Sept. 23 to Oct. 2 and will be open to the public during specified hours. The third meeting of the FRE is set to take place at Wilson on Mon, Oct. 10 at 6:00pm. The next meeting will feature a demo of the new electric car, the Chevy Volt. A local Chevy dealer will be bringing a Chevy Volt to campus for group members to test-drive on campus. Following the demo, FRE’s monthly meeting will begin at 7:00pm in Allen Auditorium. The next meeting is set to discuss the security of our national power grid and our vulnerability to terrorism.
Communications Department Launches Fresh and Engaging Website by Laura B. Hans
On Fri, Aug. 5, the Communications Department proudly launched the new and improved Wilson College website. The website increases the college’s ability to inform its audience, engage current and potential students and connect users. Director of Communications, Debra Collins, Vice President for Advancement, Jeff Zufelt, Digital Media Specialist, and James Butts worked together on this project. Butts says, “I am really proud of the way the website turned out. We really pushed and challenged the developers to give us a product far superior than anything they have done in the past. Because of this, Wilson’s website is really robust and can be loaded with tons of add-on features in the future.” The website represents the Wilson College brand and reflects the key messages of the college. Collins says, “Wilson worked with Snavely Associates, a communications firm, to help design the new website. Snavely met with members of the Wilson community – students, faculty and staff – and took highlights from those discussions to help form the design. Those discussions pointed out what the new website should showcase ‘Wilson Stories’ that relate to students, be ‘traditional’ yet ‘modern’, be clean and easy to use, and show a ‘sense of campus’ and ‘warmth of experience.” The website includes functions that allow faculty and staff to share the most up-to-date information, which will keep the public in tune with all that Wilson College has to offer. The calendar provides information concerning academic, athletic, social, news and event information on campus. Collins says, “Individuals can be trained to add information to the website through James Butts. He is working with several individuals who are responsible for specific pages within their departments.” If you are a faculty member or club advisor, contact Butts for information on including your events on
the calendar. The flat screen televisions in the Harry R. Brooks Complex for Science Mathematics and Technology display the daily calendar. Collins says, “The homepage has several special design features, including: rotating banner panels at the top, which reflect Wilson’s tagline, “With Confidence” and that lead the user through the website with easy navigation, Wilson’s logo [is] in the left-hand corner, affinity groups are listed at the top, a bread crumb trail… allows the user to know where they are at all times. [Additionally,] large blue buttons help potential students find and gather information, spotlight news and events making the home page more flexible for current happenings than our former website.” A language translator is also available on the page. The bottom of the homepage includes frequently accessed links like email, Moodle and Jenzabar. The website was also designed for mobile browsing and is easily viewed on a smartphone. Publications like the Billboard are now available from the site. If you are interested in getting the experience of working on a website, email billboard@ wilson.edu. The Alumnae Quarterly will soon be available as well.

Sarah’s Operating As Temporary New Library by Shin Young Lee
Sarah’s Coffeehouse transforms to act as the new library location Photo by Shin Young Lee
Students expressed frustration and disappointment about the temporary relocation of the John Stewart Memorial Library to Sarah’s Coffeehouse at the beginning of the fall semester. “It’s small compared to the old library building. Sometimes I just want to browse the library, but these days we must simply pick a specific book and request it online. In addition, students have to wait around a day to get the books they need,” said Yolanda Cabrera ‘13, discussing the recent relocation. The John Stewart Memorial Library building is currently closed for renovations after careful investigation by college administration revealed the building had suffered serious long-term damage that would require extensive repairs. Andrew Frank, the Public Services Librarian, said library staff do not know how long the construction will take, but that the library building will be closed for the remainder of the year.
In the meantime, all public access functions of the library have moved to Sarah’s Coffeehouse, downstairs in Lenfest Commons. With the transition of the library, some students are unaware of how to use the resources available in Sarah’s Coffeehouse. According to library staff, students have several methods available for acquiring books and other research materials. Students can search for books using the “Online Catalog” just as in previous years. However, they are not able to search the shelves to find the book(s) they need for class. Instead they need to use the “Check Out Books Here!” link on the library webpage to submit a book request. Once a request is submitted, the library staff will retrieve the book and it will be checked out, waiting for pick-up in the temporary library in Sarah’s Coffeehouse. If a book request is submitted Monday through Thursday, the book will be available the next day. On weekends the wait may be until Monday. Students can visit Sarah’s Coffeehouse during reference hours Monday through Thursday from 8:00am to 9:00pm and on Friday 8:00am to 4:00pm. Students are allowed to study during library hours Monday through Thursday from 8:00am to 11:00pm, Friday from 8:00am to 4:00pm, Saturday from 9:00am to 5:00pm and Sunday from 1:00pm to 11:00pm. Students like Cabrera now use the Academic Support Center as a quiet place to read and study. It is open until 2:00am. Frank added that library services now include ebrary, a new e-book collection that provides access to 70,000 academic titles electronically. Students can access ebrary from the library webpage under the link “Find Books.” This allows students to find and read books electronically. The link can also be found under “Database A-Z.” This collection is available 24/7 and allows students to read entire titles on their computer. Users can search for information within a title, they can create an account to save titles they use frequently, and they can also save notes in those titles. Work-study librarian, Marybeth Lowe ‘15, said that there will always be a librarian present behind the Circulation Desk during operating hours. Students who have any questions concerning technology

Soccer Team Aims for First Winning Season in Program’s History by Janelle Wills
The Wilson soccer team has set a goal of achieving the first winning season in the program’s history. Fall sports have begun, and that means soccer has started. Their names may not be worldfamous like soccer stars Hope Solo or Abby Wambach, but you will see the Wilson soccer team out on the field every day, come torrential down-pour or scorching heat. This year the team has nineteen players on its roster, twelve of whom are returners. With many familiar faces, and some new ones, the year started off on a high for the team. Captain Hannah DeMoss ‘13 said, “I think we have a lot of new talent on the team this year and I am excited to see what Wilson soccer will accomplish this season.” DeMoss continued, “We have a lot of work ahead of us, but I am confident we will reach our goals.” Two of the players DeMoss

Keyser had similar feelings, stating, “At first I was nervous, but after preseason I feel as though we’ve all bonded as a ‘family’ and we can trust each other on and off the field.” The team learned to trust each other over a grueling week of preseason in August, consisting of two
practices a day. The team also had the following week to finish preparing for their first game against Mary Baldwin College on Thurs, Sept. 1. The Phoenix battled hard in their first game of the year, but came up short with a loss of 5-3. This loss was the start of a three game losing streak for the soccer team. On Thurs, Sept. 13, the Phoenix took the first step to achieving the win they were striving for, pulling off a 2-1 win versus Valley Forge Christian College during a home game at Kris’ Meadows. When asked about the season, captain Colleen O’Reilly ‘12 said, “It’s going well. I’m proud of our team and how we keep improving, and I have high hopes for the rest of the season to come.” The team looks forward to achieving its goal of a winning season over the next five weeks.

Field Hockey Team is Working Towards Another Winning Season by Caileigh Oliver
Wilson’s field hockey team is looking forward to an exciting year. This year’s team of eighteen players brings a variety of talents to the field, with some veterans, as well as freshmen who have never stepped onto the field before coming to Wilson. Senior player Jami DeVanie ‘12 said, “Our team is so strong
this year. We are there. We have the talent, speed and mind and the heart of champions. One heart, one more and all in.’’ The team is determined to have another winning season like they did last year. They hit a rough patch in their first game against Shenandoah University on Sept. 1, when they lost with
a final score of 2-4. The loss drove the team to work harder and want to win even more. Field Hockey did just that, coming out hard in their next game on Sept. 10, a tournament game versus Wells College. They won 2-0, and went on to win the tournament championship game on Sept. 11 against
Neumann University with a score of 2-1. They won their two other games this season, the highlight being their 5-0 win against Cedar Crest College. Nine games remain in the field hockey season. The next home game is on Oct. 13, 4:00pm, they will play against St. Vincent College.

Assorted Changes and News from Around Athletic Department Tennis Downgraded to Club Status
The Wilson tennis team has been downgraded from varsity status to a club status, meaning it no longer is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). The tennis team was formally an official college sport that represented Wilson while competing against other college teams in the North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC), both hosting tournaments and traveling. This was a surprise to many after the team’s performance in the spring, when for the first time in the program’s history at Wilson, they qualified as a team to the 2011 NEAC West Championships. Two of the team’s graduating seniors, Mia and Tessa Doyle ‘11, were also inducted into the Wilson Athletics Hall of Fame for their outstanding contributions to the program.
Lacrosse Coach Resigns, New Head Coach Named
Head lacrosse Coach Kelly Buikus resigned from her position at Wilson College in August. She resigned her position at Wilson to accept a position as the head lacrosse coach at Converse College, a NCAA Division II school in South Carolina. Buikus coached the lacrosse team for two years, with a total of 4 wins and 18 losses. She also served as the assistant athletic director and the assistant basketball coach. Assistant lacrosse Coach Beth Weixel will be taking over the lacrosse program for the 2012 season. Weixel is also the head soccer coach. Weixel said, “I’m excited to take over the program. We have a great core group of players back for the 2011-2012 season who are dedicated to improving and building the program.”
New Faculty Athletics Representative Announced
Athletic Director Lori Frey has announced that Associate Professor of Education Dr. Lynn Newman will be serving as Wilson’s Faculty Athletics Representative.

Matisyahu’s Album Youth Thrice’s Sound Continues to Evolve Offers Optimism for Peace in Newest Album Major/Minor by April C. Davila
Youth is the second studio album from singer Matisyahu, which was released Mar. 7, 2006, after the Live at Stubbs Austin, TX studio album, but he continuously attracts new fans. Although this is Matisyahu’s second album, it continually receives positive reviews. It resides among the Billboard’s top 200. Matisyahu is a reggae influenced, hip-hop artist from Bronx, NY. He is a 32-year-old, American born Jewish singer who delivers inspiring lyrics that have a tendency to revolutionize the actuality of this world. When the news is in shambles over war, hate and destruction, the force of Matisyahu’s lyrics speak to anyone willing to take note of changes in religious biases, church matters and life. His words encourage youth to question authoritative figures when pressured to conform without an explanation. His lyrics touch on nostalgic angst and the search for love and peace. The album incorporates reggae, rock, hip hop and traditional ska influences. Matisyahu’s Jewish spirituality includes all of these subgenres. Youth delivers arousing beats that leave you in awe. The lyrics work almost instantaneously in affecting and inspiring change for peace in the audience. The end of the first song, “Fire of heaven/Alter on Earth,” includes lyrics like “You should be more subtle/You could keep your hustle/Keep your laugh and your hustle.” It is jaw dropping for those with a pessimistic outlook. Matisyahu’s sound is different than anyone in the music industry today. His music style is most comparable to the late 1960s reggae revival. His voice is soulful and mellow. His vocal delivery sounds like Derrick Morgan, a 1960s reggae singer. His sound is not only about content, but the groove. He does this by delivering track after track with a rendition of drum ballads and the shallow sound of his voice. According to Matisyahu’s lyrics, Youth symbolizes unity to join in the power and struggle for young people’s rights. He speaks directly to them in the song, “Youth” with lyrics like, “The power is in your hands/Slam your fist on the table/And make your demand/You have the freedom to choose.” Music that gives you power like Matisyahu’s conveys a feeling of independence and opportunity. The sound of his voice, though slow and low, gives off such resonance it executes traditional listening with simple lyrics that delivers thought and soul. His tone enforces that everyone’s attitudes and views matter. He does this with a mellow, but groovy, sound of fast beats that interchange with his rapping. This music suggests that a new world of possibilities is open to you specifically. The sound is mellow yet groovy woven to the echo of his beats. It makes you feel content. Lines like, “What I’m fighting for/It’s worth more than silver and gold” from the song “What I’m Fighting For” inspires powerful imagery into the subconscious imagination. Matisyahu expresses Youth almost like a revival of church ballads that insist in delivering the profound message of salvation. Some can live with the thought that God may not be real, but others may feel strongly that this album sends the message of needing a spiritual leader. As in the song, “King Without a Crown,” “You want God but you can’t deflate your ego”…“Ask god for mercy and he’ll throw you a rope.” There are times when the lyrics are too much about Matisyahu’s faith in his Jewish religion. Or even “Jerusalem” where the thought of forgetting Jerusalem is blasphemous, “Let my right hand forget what it’s supposed to do.” Continued on page 9

The California-based rock band, Thrice, is notorious for delivering studio albums which represent nearly every type of genre. Their three most recent releases Beggars (2009), The Alchemy Index (2007) and Vheissu (2005) almost sound as if they are works made by three different bands. Thrice’s ability to evolve their song styling between genres earns them the respect of the music industry. Their newest release, Major/Minor takes the best parts of their first three albums and combines them into a raw, grunge sound reminiscent of the 1990s. As done in Beggars, most of Major/Minor was recorded live, bringing life and realness to the instruments. Though softer than Vheissu, the new album contains dark, minor chord melodies while incorporating their familiar blues groove. Again, Thrice demonstrates their influence for many young bands today like The Used, Underoath and Every Time I Die. Vocalist, Dustin Kensrue, remits a powerful performance in Major/Minor that sounds untreated, a deep contrast from most songs heard on popular radio. The honesty of such a performance is not compromised by the remaining members of the band. In fact, drummer Riley Breckenridge gives one of his best efforts on the album. His off-key drum rolls in songs like “Words in the Water” and innovative drum styling in “Cataracts” really deserves recognition. “Yellow Belly” opens the album with an aggressive guitar riff and drum beats that compliment Dustin’s vocals as he unleashes his view of domestic violence. While the first three tracks are nothing to dismiss, the album gains momentum leading into track four. “Cataracts” reveals a lighter side of Thrice that has not been shown before, and is just as impressive. “Call it in Air” then sonically briefs you on Thrice’s last three records: tying in lighter elements resembling Beggars and The Alchemy Index and progressing into heavier choruses also seen in Vheissu. Arguably the best song on the album, “Words in the Water” reminds you that Thrice has not lost the ability to raise every hair on your arm. The gentle verses but powerful choruses take you down a path from major into minor chord that’s inspiring. It makes you wish the song was longer than its already six minutes. “Disarmed” brings a relaxed feel with its soothing guitars and consistent drums and carries over into a very Coldplay style of group chants. The final lyrics appropriately read, “We will cross over unharmed,” wrapping up the album peacefully and perfectly. Major/Minor sets Thrice at the foreground of musical evolution, devotion and consistency. Their attention to raw, unaltered sound makes mainstream music seem like nothing more than child’s play. Thrice gives those looking for something new, yet familiar something they can embrace in this new effort, released on Sept. 20.

Hochendoner’s Paintings Suggest a Dreamy Obscurity by April C. Davila The college campus is invited to attend the opening reception of Mary Hochendoner’s paintings on Thurs, Sept. 29. The exhibit will run from Sept. 8 to Oct. 14 in the Bogigian Gallery located in Lortz Hall. Philip Lindsey, Assoc. Prof. of Fine Arts, brings special guest Hochendoner to the campus. This is an opportunity to come and experience creative work and listen to the artist speak first hand. She is one of many guest speakers to visit. Her work has a dreamy obscurity that Hochendoner says, “appears and disappears suggesting the reality of emptiness.” The majority of her paintings are inspired by the late Edwin Dickinson. Dickinson, a surrealist painter, worked from the late 1800s until his passing in the 1870s. His art was largely based on representation. He would then incorporate other aspects of what he saw, like a change of light, roughness or roundness, which inspired Hochendoner. Like Dickinson, she integrates what she sees one day to the painting she is working on, after weeks away. Her finished works are developed pieces that she says, “surprisingly head out in one direction and find its ways to see space and air in different dimensions.” One of her well recognized paintings is called “Chair,” a pencil sketch directly inspired by Dickinson. When she attended the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, she had an opportunity to see the actual chair that was used in Dickinson’s chair photo. In fact, she says, she was so profoundly moved in seeing the actual chair from Dickinson’s photo that she sat with a pencil and notebook. She comments that she was, “unaware of time I made a sketch of the actual chair.” The opportunity to visit and speak on campus is an open “connection that artists have” she says. The popular art in the 1960s was abstraction, but Hochendoner continues to narrate abstract paintings through “everyday life inspirations,” she says. “Some can say that I stand out, but I give the credit to my inspirations
the MovieReview Get Addicted to Contagion by Jonathan Clark I have to admit that as I write this review for Contagion, a new epidemic dramatic thriller from the always unpredictable Steven Soderbergh, I’m periodically blowing my nose and coughing. There’s probably some irony in that, but I’m in such a drug induced state, I can’t figure it out. The film opens with Gwyneth Paltrow returning home to Minneapolis from Hong Kong. She’s coughing, blemished and unfocused. It’s just a cold until three days later she’s dead and the doctors who perform the autopsy discover something odd. Hundreds of miles away a man who Paltrow slept with while waiting for a layover flight dies too. This may not be cause for alarm, but around the world handfuls of other people are dying in the same manner and, it turns out, all of these people visited the same casino as Paltrow. Eventually the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the Department of Homeland Security and the World Health Organization begin to suspect something is not right as dozens of people around the world begin dropping like flies. This may sound like a standard disaster film as orchestrated numerous times, but by the end of Contagion what Soderbergh and scriptwriter Scott Burns has created is probably one of the most accurate rendering of a viral epidemic ever put on film. That said most people will probably become bored about 30 minutes in (or after another of the films lead actors bites the dust). What is left (after the virus spreads and mass graves are filled in) is a search for not just the cure, but what the virus actually is and the way the media, government, special interest groups

and my teachers.” Maya Schock is “the one who taught me how to paint,” she says, and she gives full credit for the “connection to my passion.” Hochendoner will speak about the atmospheric ambiguity that her paintings represent at the reception. Fine Art majors are encouraged to attend. Lindsey says, “It can be difficult to culminate with other artists, but everyone is encouraged to come out. This is an opportunity to grow and experience the great work of someone who has a great story to share…she has talent…these are great paintings.” During the art exhibit, light refreshments will be served. Hochendoner will discuss her artwork and painting process. All works of art are for sale. Hochendoner hopes all attending leave with an understanding that, “Art is an expression; it’s our salvation, for our survival.” Continued from page 8
Matisyahu does not waste music time with synthesizers performing for him. He raps alongside the rhythm of the bass and drum startup. As the guitar chords come in, the guitar gears and his beat boxing shuffles into full swing. In less than 30 seconds you have a wild get up of young adults at the mercy of his music. You can not help but feel the need to get up and dance. His rap is not about the indignities of the world, but about lifestyle changes and aiming for peace despite our differences. and pharmaceutical companies have their own priorities in mind. The inner workings of the aforementioned groups are intriguing. Officials, when told of a vaccine, immediately begin auctioning the serum to the highest pharmaceutical company and question the amount of time dedicated to clinic tests and suggest more should occur; all the while people are dying by the thousands. I liked Contagion for many reasons, mainly because the film both refuses and enjoys relying on past epidemic movies. It doesn’t have zombies or kill off the entire population of New York in a single wave. It also is not afraid to kill off some of its all-star cast without batting an eye. And what a cast it is: Kate Winslet, Matt Damon, Marion Cotillard, Jude Law and Laurence Fishburne along with some other recognizable faces in minor roles very much like Soderbergh’s Oscar winning Traffic. If you like intelligent, carefully developed storylines this is a film for you. If you want mass destruction and epic chaos stick with the Resident Evil series.

Cherished Assistant Dean of Students Returns after a Year Abroad by Shin Young Lee Rebecca Hammell, Asst. Dean of Students, returned after a year spent in England. For freshmen students, her name is unfamiliar but she is well known to upperclassmen. Despite not knowing her name, freshmen may recognize her from orientation week. Hammel is not only responsible for planning orientation activities but is the advisor of the Campus Activity Board (CAB) and Wilson College Government Association (WCGA). “My job consists of assisting the dean of students with any special projects or tasks that she has for me. I sometimes do programs and activities from my office,” says Hammell. Hammell spent one year on a
leave of absence from Wilson to be with her husband, who is teaching in England for two years. “The opportunity to live abroad is one that not everyone gets to experience, and I was fortunate that Wilson gave me a year to spend time with my husband.” She helped her husband with his students studying at the Royal School of Needlework. In addition, she traveled to Norway, the Netherlands, France, Scotland and Ireland. This trip also provided material for developing the J-term course, “The Reformation in Britain,” that Hammell and Chaplain Rosie Magee have planned. This course is for students interested in both study and travel. “Even though she didn’t need to give her time to send information
about England, she did it for Wilson students. For planning this course, she gave a lot of information,” says Magee. Eleven students are currently enrolled to study at Wilson during two weeks in January and then will continue the course in Britain with Magee and Hammell. Hammell added her advice to freshmen, “I’ve been working with first-year students for the past 15 years, so I always have a lot of advice! Study hard; ask questions in class; visit your professors during office hours to get help when you need it; find at least one co-curricular activity that you love; learn to edit your work ruthlessly and use the writing center if you need help; visit the Academic Support Center at least once every year” and the most im-

Leary Brings Both Veterinary and Equestrian Experience to Stables by Stephanie Walker

This fall Elizabeth Leary joined the campus as the new stable manager, replacing Ellen Schroyer. Leary previously managed large barns and breeding operations, worked as an instructor and trainer, was the captain of her college hunt seat team, and worked as a veterinarian technician. Leary also has experience with vaulting, as well as western equestrian disciplines such as reining, barrel racing and western pleasure, and English disciplines such as hunt seat and dressage, and saddle seat riding.
“Leary tried really hard to get a lot of experience,” John Tukey, Dir. of Equestrian Studies. “There is not just one way to do things; there are a lot of ways,” Leary says. Leary says she is very excited to learn about Wilson College and work with the students and staff to continue to improve the stables. Leary says that one of the reasons that she decided to come to Wilson College was the atmosphere. She wanted a barn where her daughter, Mackenzie, would enjoy spending her time.
“The staff has been so wonderful,” says Leary, in helping her to adjust to the new environment and learn all of the horses. At a meet and greet on Weds, Sept. 14 at 7:00pm in the Brooks Science Complex, Leary asked students in the audience about themselves. She wanted to know their names and majors. Leary brought two older school horses with her, a quarter horse gelding and a pony named Dixie Diva. Dixie was originally trained for western pleasure but Elizabeth uses her to teach many disciplines. Both

Stained Glass Leaf Craft What you’ll need: ●Black construction paper ●Clear contact paper ●Tissue paper in a fall colors ●Printable leaf template ●Scissors
How to make your Tissue Paper Fall Leaf Craft: 1. Cut the leaf out, then cut the middle of the leaf out and discard it. You will be left with a thin outline of a leaf. Trace this leaf ‘outline’ template onto black construction paper and cut out. You are basically cutting out a frame for your craft. 2. Cut a square of contact paper that is slightly bigger than the leaf. Peel the backing paper off of the contact paper and stick your leaf outline onto it. 3. Cut tissue paper into 1 inch squares. Make sure to use a few different colors. 4. Stick the tissue paper onto the leaf making sure to overlap the pieces. 5. When the inside of the leaf is covered with tissue paper, trim off the excess contact paper/tissue paper. 6. Hang up on a sunny window.
