I have finally built up my stock of handmade paper enough to begin to sell it. My paper is 5x7 inches per sheet, plain, smooth, or rough in texture. It comes in packs of five sheets for 10.00 with free shipping. You can have all the same color or a variety pack of colors. This is the same paper I use for my collages and paper quilts.
Yesterday I tried another experiment. The couching sheets work for some time, but eventually they begin to fall apart, due to constant wetting and then drying over and over. I decided to use the old ones to make paper. The pulp had much more texture than the usual recycled paper. It was ok and the paper was good, but it was harder to work with. It might be interesting to use one couching sheet in a normal mixture of paper.
Country painters love to make hand made paper….
