My Latest Obsession ...

One of the gals I used to work with gave me a personal-size paper making kit for Christmas (mold, deckle, sponge and instructions). This is a sample of Batch #2. I call it "Banana Cream" (not because there are any bananas in it, but because of the colour). Batch #6 (Orange Marmalade) is drying; and Batch #7, which has yet been named, is soaking and will be ready for the rest of the process tomorrow.

Does anyone else here make their own paper?

  • I don't make my own paper, but it's high on my to-do list. What fun!

    P.S. Yer paper looks good enough to eat.

  • Making paper is one of my favorite activities to do with my students. They think it is magic! It is addicting, too. Enjoy!

    Your paper is delish!
