A Card From The Past Paper Making Experiment

A little over ten years ago I was experimenting with paper making using junk mail and other paper. I also experimented with putting different things in the paper pulp like glitter, dog hair, and even dryer lint. I experimented with different ways of making shaped papers as well as coloring my paper.

While packing up things I came across this card as well as some others I made during that time. Alas I did not know that over time rubber cement would cause discoloration so most of the cards ended up being tossed. Surprisingly the card I gave my sister does not show signs of discoloration as she has it on display. So I did not know about the discoloration until I came across the other cards recently while packing things up. But I'm getting sidetracked here. So here is the notecard I made.

I used open cookie cutters for the two hearts. The small heart has dog hair and dryer lint in it. I don't remember what I colored the larger heart with but it has some glitter in it. I used a plastic bead in the center.

Since this time I have seen plastic canvas used for paper making. Once I'm settled in my new place I'll have the space to play once again making paper and paper embellishments. I did pack my paper dedicated blender. I want to see if I can make paper in an embossing folder using the pulp instead of another way I've recently played doing it.

Thank you for stopping by and looking. I should be back crafting in a couple of weeks. In the meantime wishing you Happy Frugal Crafting till we meet again.
