Paper Making For My Art Book

  For the first time ever I had a go at making my own paper, following a process which involved soaking ripped up paper and blending to a pulp.  I infused tea leaves within my paper in order that it would become coloured and maybe even smell a little of tea.  I made my own deckle and mould with chicken wire and 2 old photo frames, which seemed to be successful.  Below is a video in slow motion mode, taken on my iPhone of the blending process.  The tea links to my previous project, where I made 15 cups of tea to serve to public, whilst starting conversations about the refugee crisis.
