They can also be used with scissors, pen, glue, stamps, water color paint, acrylic paint, pencil, ink, markers, and more.
The set of 10 sheets are assorted from papers that I have made. The quality is very high, with uniform sheets, and deckle edges. I use all recycled materials for my paper,including plant material. Some of the sheets have a little bit of abaca fiber in them for durability. With ten sheets in each packet you are sure to get a great mix, however if you would like a specific trend to your mix let me know in the notes to seller page of your order.
You paper will be packaged in a recycled envelope with a biodegradable stiffener so that it does not get mussed or bend during shipping.
Making paper is a relaxing and meditative process for me because it is very process focused. As I make each sheet I get to commune with it's formation, letting each fiber merge into the one next to it as the water drains away. It is a transformative process, from a pile of cellulose junkmail that by adding water and then taking it away, to come out with a perfectly fresh crisp sheet of usefull paper. There are endless possibilities for both the finished sheet of paper and the materials that can be used to create them.
