How-To Make Pulp


seeds, dryer lint and scraps of cotton fabric. Don't limit yourself. Always be on the lookout for a new material you can incorporate into the mix. And I can't stress enough the importance of writing down the mixture you used. If you make a fabulous sheet of paper, you want to be able to replicate the process and if you make a real loser, well the sheet of paper you wrote down your pulp recipe on can be used in your next batch of pulp!

Now that you know all about pulp, May's article will explain in greater depth how to go about creating handmade papers with the dip method, and June's will discuss the pour handmold process. From there we will go on to couching, pressing, drying, dyeing, sizing and the all important cleanup article!!
