For this project you'll need:
- Three towels.
- A plastic tub such as a cat litter tray or a drawer.
- Paper in your desired colour.
- A blender, alternatively you could rip and tear yourself but it'll take longer.
- A screen or old photo frame.
- J-cloths.
- Dye.
- Dried flowers.
- Thread.
- Coffee or tea bags.
- Text or image printed out.
- Dollies.
- Photo.
I'll be taking my own photos along the way so you can see every bit of detail and it'll be a simple step by step guide, it's dead easy I promise!

I worked as a papermaker a whole summer when I was a university student. I worked at a paperlab, and was assistant to a engineer who just collected my papersamples and testresults and I even made the evaluations for her. I was working in the basement and was called by her to the third floor several times were she told me that I must work harder and faster and how expensive this evaluation was going to be if I didn't work faster even though I tried to explain to her how long it took to make a paper and to test it. I had to take shortcuts to get the (propably spoiled) results to her. I will never make a paper by hand again :) But in the other hand a hand made paper made with artistical inspiration is something else. I made beautiful thin papers somethimes, thin like spiderwebs with the tree fibres clearly visible. Wish I had saved some to make a painting with.
LOL I understand completely, my last final piece was inspired by Victorian Mourning culture and the whole thing was based on paper. Oh God it took forever! If you're doing a few ones to print onto and do crafty things it's fine though.
Cleaning is always bad though, I admit that :/
