Experimenting with different
ways to embed
string into handmade papers
for my new series Monsters.

| Made paper purposely two-toned. White areas still have remnants of former life, (deconstructed letters and text can still be seen). |
Baltimore has great water for
making paper and I don't have
to do much on that end.
Neutral pH level!
I have been separating the initial
salvaged papers in recycle
bins and playing around
with combining the really high end
papers with samples of
glossy, highly processed ones.

| Violet papers rest on handmade deckles and moulds. |
Overall, I love the quality of the papers.
However, as a printmaker
I have always used
England's Somerset
France's Arches
China's Red Star Xuan papers
Japan's Kitakata (love it for book binding)
which makes me want to
really test the papers I have been
making. I have inquired about
working with a local chemist/scientist.
