Paper....Paper....and More paper

Paper....Paper....and More Paper 

I recently had a whole day free and chose to spend that day creating some handmade papers. Thanks to the wonderful AG Paper Press I was able to stack, press and dry all of the sheets in a small space. I have not decided what creations will be made with the batch of papers but just having them on hand inspires me!

Supplies:

• Any of the Arnold Grummer® paper making kits 

• AG Paper Press

• Blender,  cello sponges and soft towels

• A sunny window

• Scraps of white and colored paper (think junk mail, etc.) 

• INCLUSIONS: Dried herbs, spices, plants, flowers, coffee grounds, tea leaves, AG Iridescent 

        Flakes

Instructions:

1. Follow the instructions found in any of the Arnold Grummer™ paper making kits to create 

        white slurry.

2. Add tiny amounts of any inclusion and blend for a couple of seconds.

3. Create a sheet of paper.

4. Place the sheet between two couch sheets and then into the AG Paper Press. (Note: repeat for 

        each sheet of paper.)

                                   

                    

5. Make more slurry using white scraps and some colored paper.

6. Add a different inclusion.

7. Create a sheet of paper.

8. Create lighter or darker shades of handmade paper adding some AG Iridescent Flakes.  

9. Change the couch sheets as needed.

10. When the papers are dry, sort by color and use for future projects.
