  1. This was FANTASTIC. I would love to put together a Google slide show that schools could use with their efforts in science. I never took mycology in college, but a professor that taught it invited the grad students for a meal consisting of only fungi. There was truly a “fungus amongus”. You amaze me with the talent that you interview. Thank you so much. rj♿👎

  2. Thank you, Bob. Great to hear from you and if you want to talk about doing a science show for schools that you think I could contribute to, let me know. I plan to be in touch with you in any case.

About Leafages

"Credo" statement

Leafages by Hazel Kahan are made from real leaves, vines and tendrils interwoven with calligraphy, decorative pen and ink flourishes and imaginary Latin botanical names. Leafages contain a philosophical or inspirational thought, quotation or verse from sages, poets or religious texts. Some leafages are specially created for an individual, a couple or a family with words or leaves reflecting their personal narrative. They are available on the Leafages shop on Etsy although the supply is low right now, all my energies having been absorbed by the book I’ve been writing. Do come back soon when the shop will be full of new leafage abundance or contact me.
