A couple of weekends ago, I finally had time to indulge in something I have always wanted to try - paper making. I know, I am such an exciting individual. So I watched a couple of online videos about the process and set out to try it for myself.
The start up costs are pretty inexpensive. I went to the dollar store and picked up some felt, a picture frame to use for the frame and found an old window screen in my closet that doesn't actually fit any of the windows in my apartment. I also sacrificed my blender that I only use for smoothies. However, now that it is full of paper, I am really craving a smoothie...
It got off to a rocky start, with some horrible handmade screens and a mess of mushed up paper and water all over the kitchen. After a couple of trail and errors, I eventually got the hang of it. Currently, I have been experimenting with some different techniques and doing some online research. I have found that I actually really enjoy it, as crazy as that sounds. So stay tuned for some adventures in paper making.
