Beautiful handmade paper. A5 size.

I tear up previously used paper into pieces no bigger than a postage stamp. Soak it in water for a few days and then blend it in a food processor to make paper pulp. The pulp is then put into a bath with more water and then a framed sieve is used to lift out a page of pulp, the water is allowed to drain and the remaining paper pulp is turned out onto a board. Further water is sponged out of the paper, the mesh removed and the paper is then left to dry. The page is then carefully lifted from the board.

As this paper is handmade, there are significant variations in colour and weight of the paper within batches.

This paper is soft and porous. It is lovely to write on with ballpoint or gel tip pens. Good results can be achieved using thicker paints such as acrylic or by stamping as long as excessive amounts of ink are not used.

Sharp items such as fountain pens, calligraphy pens, sharp pencils, fiber tip pens, felt tip pens and thin paints such as water colours, are likely to put holes in the paper or the ink/paint is likely to absorb into the paper and bleed.

Price is per sheet.
