Om ett par veckor ska jag hålla kurs i klistermarmorering i Leksand så jag har laddat upp genom att testa lite nya tekniker och några nya pigmentkombinationer. Denna är en blandning av bränd umbra och ultramarin (tack Kajsa!) och den blev sådär härligt åskhimmelsblå! Jag fick sån feeling så pappret fick lite guldstänk också, ja så kan det gå.

...
In a couple of weeks' time I will be teaching a paste paper making course so I thought it would be a good idea to practice a few new techniques and pigment combinations. This lovely thundercloud blue is burnt umber and ultramarine, and I finished it off with some spattered gold which in my humble opinion looked 👌👌👌

Last week I made paste paper for bookbinding.

Developed in Germany in the early 17th century, it's been used for book covers or endpapers ever since.

This is so much fun, I could do this all day long, if I had enough floor space for the paper to dry 😅

I made this little pincushion-box-thingamadoodle as a Christmas gift for my dear friend @frostemma ❤️
It very neatly brings together two of my favorite crafts - sewing and paste paper!

As with most things I make, it's inspired by old ones I found on Pinterest and I have been wanting to make one for years. And I will simply have to make another for myself because clearly you can't live without one!

...

Den här lilla nåldynelådan gjorde jag förra året som en julklapp till min kära vän @_frostemma , och det passar ju bra att den kombinerar två av mina favorithantverk - sömnad och klistermarmorering! Som med det mesta jag gör har jag hämtat inspiration från gamla dito som jag hittade på Pinterest, även om det tog flera år att komma till skott! Men ja, nu blir jag nog så "illa" tvungen att göra en till mig själv också för en sån här kan man ju inte vara utan!

With the addition of black, grey and pastel-pink my #Pride #PastePaper collection could now cover the trans pride flag, flags like agender or ace, and a bunch of others.

(I did magenta, white, light blue and light green recently but didn't take any pictures.)

Making #PastePaper is so fun and satisfying!

And its so easy (and pretty cheap) to get great looking results. I'd love to do, like, a workshop with people, teaching this and making a whole bunch of papers.

I really gotta poke my art-school peeps for access to rooms and equipment sometime. 

One of my first experiments with paste paper. I'm using a 6% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose mix. I learned that I should use a weighing scale to measure the sodium CMC instead of depending on tablespoon measurement.
