My mother-in-law sent me an early (very early) birthday present - a kit to make handmade paper! I'm quite excited as I had been thinking about this for some time, and as you can see, have been saving all my little scraps for just such an occasion:
I've started by making a whole stack of plain white paper, just to practice, and maybe even for a new calligraphy book project. I will post photos just as soon as they've finished drying.
oooh! So jealous. I have a couple of bags of paper strips just like that!
ReplyDeletewoohoo! join the papermakers! welcome to the world of people who have pulp in their arm hairs! seriously.
ReplyDeleteOoh, that makes me want to get my papermaking things out. But first I have to get a stack of bookbinding projects out of the way.
ReplyDeleteI had pulp everywhere! But that's not at all unusual for me. And I can see it becoming an addiction. Easy and rewarding is a good way to make sure I waste a lot of time of something.
