the colours of making paper

(Thanks to Dan for being an ultra-humble assistant).

the direction they went

I didn't make a clear decision about the direction. A rush at the last minute lead me to buttons, and 3 Mother's Day cards were finished.

The more precious people are to you the less words have to be spoken.

Two of our favourite people were married recently, a handmade card and gift-wrapping just for them.

(A theme that has been resonating with me at the moment)

Sorry about the lack of posts, quite busy.

Happy Saturday!
On the agenda: paper-making.

pulp

Eb gave me a mold and a couple of deckles to make my own recycled paper. Very exciting! It is a such an enjoyable process and i can see that the experimentation will be endless. Above is my very first sheet, still needing a final press and dry. Next time I have to make a lot more pulp. Before it had been couched, this piece looked like a vaguely rectangular portion of rolled out dog food, yummy.
