Experimenting with Dryer Sheets & Paper Creations
Hi all! Never underestimate the effects of down time on a mind that tends to wander. We had a snow day a couple of weeks ago during which I caught up on laundry. As I started throwing away the used dryer sheets I was hit by a thought...what would happen if I used the dryer sheets with paper pulp?? Would it bond with the paper? Would it peel away?? Would it give the paper more strength? Only one way to find out...start experimenting. The first thing that flashed in my mind was a comic strip bowl. I had to wait for the Sunday funnies to try it. I cut out one of the comic strips to be used whole. The rest of the comics were shredded to be turned into pulp. Following the instructions with the Papermill Pro, I assembled the deckle box with the support grid and Papermaking screen. On top of the papermaking screen I laid 2 used dryer sheets side by side. Then I placed the cut out comic face down on the dryer sheets....
