Creative Handmade Paper by David Watson

This guide shows how to be creative and environmentally friendly at the same time using papers and plants to make unusual and beautiful textured papers. The basic techniques are illustrated with step-by-step photographs. The book shows how to use recycled paper, and gives advice on dyeing and scenting it. It also gives advice in changing the texture and stength of the paper, dyeing and scenting it, embossing and watermarking it. Finally, there is a wealth of beautifully textured writing papers and enveloped, sculptured pictures, collages, wallhanings and items such as hats, waistcoats, ties and shopping bags.
