that was yesterday....

This morning I'm preparing the rose petals so I can incorporate them into papers this afternoon. This is for the new manual I'm making for Artsmart.

using the playful pieces

Getting ready for Artsmart - I need items that have an affordable pricepoint - so more cards....

But - really I'm just having fun working up new ideas to place my small papers in a

considered context.

more play -

Oh, and today I got a phone call from Channel 4.

The producers of 'Kirstie Allsopp's Homemade Homewere' are interested

in my paper making skills!!!!

Just one of those days........everything seemed to go right.......

......just playing around with vats of different pulps......

Roses again

As the Rowan leaves papermaking manual was so popular - sold lots - I am revisiting the rose petals. Similar idea but will use images as well as text with the papers ......

Oh.....what to do with these????????

Holly leaves - found cut down in Brockwell Park ages ago ...... they don't dry flat so have to think of a another way to use 'em!

Time to gather thoughts....

cotton - gampi - rose petals - garlic skins

It's been a full on couple of months......walked to my studio in Herne Hill and spent several hours just playing around with the pulps already pigmented.

As usual got the studio in a mess but don't care - just pulled small sheets that may end up in the Dard Hunter keepsake project!
