Part 1
When I began working with
discarded paper products
I was getting a lot of
unpredictable results.
In January, I began to record
my experiments and put my
papermaking process
under a microscope.
My goal was to better understand
the quality of the paper:
Strength, texture,
color, durability, acidity.
It was a "given" that I wanted to save
paper products from the landfills.
I macerated paper fibers
and created pulp that I could
sculpt into art.
from the pulp
stories emerge:
rough like life
handmade papers from 100% post-consumer fibers |
smooth like Hope
handmade paper from post-consumer fibers |
