Does anyone make paper/card?

I want to use all of our small denim scraps and threads, and thought I could make some paper/card for art/greetings cards, book covers, bookmarks etc and wondered if anyone had already made paper from fabric.

I’m currently testing 100% denim pulp; 50/50 denim/paper; same again but with added cornstarch; all with just water.

There are so many combinations though, so if anyone has any advice (or a spare Holland beater ) it would be gladly received!

@Lynne Thank you for my learning lesson of the day as I had no idea what a holland beater is.

@Lynne you are a mad scientist and this is epic! Can’t wait to see the results of your experimentation. I wonder if it will come out with a similar texture to washi paper?

[Lynne]

@SourPower so far it’s like a thick fibrous card

Process shots:
The latest Winyl bags are nearly ready. One wabash and one 1955. Just hanging around waiting for snaps, before they join the rest of their posse to be prepped for sale.
I’ve loved making these.
They are mahoosive! Wide enough for vinyl, deep enough for wine

@Lynne Oooooo that Wabash is beautiful!

[Lynne]

@Danimal506 it is - I want to keep them all! My photos don’t do them justice. Wait til James has done his magic with them in the next week or so

@Lynne I look forward to seeing more pics!

Loving this cuff.

@jimcasey thank you for posting! It’s a thrill to see you wearing it. Looks like it was made for you

More in the making, this time darker…

great video @Lynne quite hypnotic/relaxing to watch! (is the camera strapped to head?!)

[will6er]

@Lynne You make it look very easy!

[AdamC]

That is steady camera work @Lynne, you must have a head strap over there?

@will6er it is easy when everything goes to plan and the video’s edited - I’ve not posted when it got all caught up at the end, or the threading and rethreading, or the cussing etc etc
