Creative inspiration
and ways to use handmade paper
Who doesn't need a touch of green inside?
A fern pressed last summer with the Microfleur, and mounted on nicely textured 5x7" handmade paper.
If you like minimalist botanical art like this, you can make your own!
(If you aren't inclined to make you own, it is available on Wooden Deckle Etsy.)

Check out what artist Jane Kramer is doing - she is making handmade paper from obnoxious invasive species, and adorning it with photographic transfers of native Michigan plants. Very brilliant, very beautiful.
She cooks down the plant fibers herself, and then processes them in a kitchen blender - resulting in a very rustic, fibrous paper. I love the irony of how she is able to make something very good, from something bad.
Thanks to May Babcock, for another inspiring blog article on hand papermaking.
1. Gather the last few remaining violas in the yard
2. Place them in the Microfleur
3. 90 seconds later, remove pressed violas. Admire their beauty! Ponder how best to use them.
It is our pleasure to enable eco-minded people to make handmade paper by recycling.
Make something great, and do some good. A tree will thank you.
