After first efforts on the yellow heap realised that the quantity of how much paper one could produced was more than I had imagined so decided that as I had soaked all paper at the same time I would pulp it freeze it in blocks for use in the future. It felt better to make a few pieces of paper early on while I was experimenting with each colour. This allowed time to contemplate results and then decide on what to progress further . I would also conside which pulp would be enhanced by dyes.

The second trial was using various types of white tissue paper, some with white logos on, and adding a piece o pink tissue paper as a colourant. Interested in whether the weight of the paper would be an issue the samples shown did not prove to be the best for taking an imprint. Possibly a lack of abilty to layer it thickly enough on the screen rather than a fault of the paper. The paper was a nice texture but it failed to take an imprint that is discernable in thes e photos. I would, however, try to use tissue again. Delighted to find this old fan shape in my box of bygone momentoes, Ref 4.4.b as made me reconsider the idea of grids and possible book covers!

Next, the blue group as seen in Ref 4.4.1b. Decided to use this to trial watermarks, see ref 4.4.5b.
Oh dear! more ineffective results but tried to recover the position and played; laminating and layering with white pulp and flowers Ref 4.4.5c. Also tried to shape the damp paper over knitted sample mould Ref 4.4.5d

Looks like fun Judith and beautiful results. I love hand-made paper.
