They look really good. And love the paper! How did you make it? Would be interested to know how you made it. Might be interesting to try salt prints on that paper. I was about to say the same thing  Using these (or another size) and then follow something like this. I have made some today and have been trying to get the paper as thin as possible. I have used some small frames. They are currently drying in between a cut up old duvet cover with a weight on top. Last week we left them out in the sun just on a board but they went quite wavy. Hoping this method (and with the thinness) will make it easier to print on to. the ones last week that my daughter was doing are a to thicker, but she will be doing Lino type printing onto them, so for her thinness isn't an issue. it is a work in progress. As we had tonnes of confidential papers to shred, I have enough to keep trying! |

Yesterdays have come out nice and thin and have gone through the printer quite well. This was A5 size.

I have more paper that has some multi coloured scraps in, pinks and yellows. That would work quite well with this type of image I think.

You are getting really good with these, but please don't bother with the coloured bits. Try putting them on the wall or in an exhibition. S
edit: or send them to me... And I know a few people who would like them!

Thank you.
I have just made an A3 sheet (still drying) made purely from junk mail, so is made more of a shiny magazine type paper on the whole, as an idea for a print for an open call submission to a gallery. Will have to see how it works. I've also purposely left more visible shredded paper in that as an indication of what it is. I have a feeling it isn't quite going to work, but we'll see.

Well I made the paper from junk mail, printed a photo of part of a door onto it and submitted it to an open call on the theme of dwellings for a gallery in Sheffield a month or so ago.
Just had an email saying it has been accepted. Perhaps everyone who submitted has also been accepted. Who knows, lol.
