Mixed Media Journals
I make my own paper for most of the journals. The most interesting words pop up in the pulp! Great collage fodder.
The process of making the paper and ink was utilized as far back as the Ancients.
Coffee-staining papers outside in the summertime – one of my favorite things! (Just not the same inside.)
Handmade paper drying on the line. Not too long ago. I traded a journal for a set of vintage encyclopedias.
Burning grape vines down to ash for making black ink.
Making background papers using rust and sumi ink and tea.
Handmade papers created from recycled Fanta soda pop carton.
