Last Saturday, I spent the entire day at a paper design workshop led by my collage instructor. For nearly 7 hours, we made our own paper, by taking ordinary items -- paper towels, napkins, doilies, coffee filters, butcher paper, pattern paper, book pages, and sheet music -- and adding paint, gesso, and ink by using stamps, stencils, sponges, and brushes. The results were astonishing! And I now have a nearly endless supply of paper. Not that I didn't already. But this recent cache is entirely original and was handmade by me. Below are some examples of what I produced.
