Keywords: selfmade paper, art

what you need:

 

 

you take some newspaper,  ragpaper or thick cellulose paper cut it into little pieces, put it into a large bowl and add water until the newspaper is covered.

 

After half an hour of soaking you can take a kitchen-mixer (or something bigger for a large amount of pulp)  to mix the paper and the water to a smooth pulp, not too thin and not too thick.

 

As soon as the pulp is ready you can put it into several little bowls and you can add different colors (pigments) or cromar colors.

 

Then you can place the pulp on the board in the shape you like.  

 

You can also add different natural materials if you like.
