Paper making
I thought I'd show you a few of the paper samples I made on Saturday. I didn't want to just make sheets of plain paper (can buy those!) but some embossed sheets exploring the ideas of random textured marks in sand that I can put in my sand marks sketchbook (seen in earlier posts). After making a sheet of paper I drained it on a J-cloth and then laid on textured paper, etc. and left it under a weighted board to impress their pattern.
L: some of the textured surfaces I used.
R: a sheet of paper (leaked through ink has coloured it) showing the impressions
L: string embedded between two layers of paper pulp

Above: (out of focus) shows the lace used to impress a pattern and the marks it made in the paper.
Below: these marks were made manually into still damp thick paper. Spot the potato masher!

Strips of cut up felted knitting were used to impress this pattern
