Hand Made Paper Making By Christina Fajardo

This is an instructional slide show on making handmade paper from recycled flyers, junk mail, dryer lent, dried flowers and leaves. My artistic expression largely involves reducing, reusing, reclaiming and recycling, savoring discarded finds and utilizes found objects by creating beautiful art.

The newspaper is used to dry the handmade paper on, not to put in the blender to make the paper.

The newspapers are to dry the handmade paper on

can u colour it using herbs or plants when u blend?

[ccfajardo]

Yes. I use all kinds of stuff. Different colored dryer lint, dried flowers, rafia, but the colored junk mail works the best for color because you only need a small amount of colored paper to get color added to white paper. The ink from the paper adds color as well. It is lots of fun getting all the different textures.
