green/yellow/red paper


green/yellow/red paper

handmade paper! this was made for a swap of hand decorated paper. i just went with handmade paper, since i happened to have this large piece of greenish paper around. when i first made it, i wasn't sure i liked it.

then, of course, i lived with it for a few days, and used a piece to make a small book, which is still in progress. it's very textural... gotta love that! the best part about this paper is that it feels very sturdy in your hands. it'll hold up to a lot of abuse, painting, embellishing, working. i am thinking of making an entire journal with just this stuff!

you can see a detail of the paper on flickr, if you're curious about the texture.

Yes, the texture is quite fab.

Off-topic, but... I thought of you when I saw these two announcements:

"A Million Little Pictures" competition/exhibit (as seen in this post from Juxtapoz magazine)

and

"You Can Create" contest (as seen in this post from Juxtapoz)

Just thought I'd pass along the info. Hope all is well with you!
