Paper making

well we did make paper today... we used recycled paper and some cotton pulp from Burnie paper mill and to add some colour and texture some cooked up tall spike reed which was left over from basketmaking a while ago... we had previously prepared all the stuff and frozen it  so it was an easy fun day... Here is a pic of some pages drying .

 maybe the close up then....

just love the candy stripe couching cloth I used....Trace just uses boring old cream stuff !!!
