craftgrrl | paper making conquered

i don't mind telling you all i was a bit reluctant to dive into making my own paper. i've plagued you with questions and read more tutorials than i can possibly remember. but in the end, i'm really super happy about how the paper is turning out.

dried and ready to use paper (i plan to use them as backing to some photos of my old restaurant i've been wanting to frame) white, yellow and green paper and silver glitter and dried dill

today's sheets drying. purple file folders and white office paper with dark dryer lint

a bowl made from today's batch, really just an experiment i don't expect to work the first time, but if it does, i'll be really happy.

ETA: ironing the pages dry results in silky paper surface. i'm going to mist the green ones and redry them with the iron. the purple sheets turned out much thinner than the green.
