My papermaking venture turned out quite well yesterday.
I began at around 9 am, letting the pulper work it's magic on my pink cotton and recycled paper.
I had to crank the pulper blades down every once in a while, and it took until 4 pm for the pulp to be completely made.
The sheets turned out so lovely, they're a light pink with darker pink cotton fibers in them.
I have to go back soon to put them onto dry felts so they will dry more quickly.
My next venture will be black paper with water marks.
I'm pretty sure I've found my calling.
