I have been busy in the studio this week pulling sheets and beating pulps and I am going to share with you a beautiful, almost edible, creamy hued, vintage-esque sheet I created a couple of days ago.
I used a raw umber and yellow ochre pigmented pulp and and an old piece of lace. I mixed the 2 colors of pulp on my mold and deckle to firstly form a thin sheet to put the lace onto. I left it rather mushy and unpressed. I then removed the mold (remember, the empty frame) from the deckle (the frame covered in screen/silkscreen) and laid the piece of cloth across the deckle and pulp so that it fell over the sides. I then poured just the raw umber thinly over the top of that.

I love the way the paper thins and feathers allowing bits of lace to become more visible throughout.
