I grind up the main ingredients in a blender then push the clumps of pulp into a form I made out of a cardboard box lined with plastic. You can press shells, branches etc in at this time too. Then it takes several weeks to dry as it is thick. The one shown which looks like trees I did not paint. The dark brown came from adding earth and dark leaves to the pulp. The green and yellow came from dying the pulp. On the second wallhanging of the drumming woman, I used white pulp I later painted with acrylic.sukipoethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09351851210507048174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34861243.post-51943316750944026122008-06-13T21:01:00.000-04:002008-06-13T21:01:00.000-04:00So glad you made this available Suki.

Have fun. At least you are used to the heat.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Katie Jane. Handmade paper is a marvel. I'd like to get back to it again too.

I like to do things with paper too. I made some a few years ago and I still have it.
