Making Paper

I really enjoyed making paper. I wasn't expecting it to be so interesting. I thought it was interesting to put all different kinds of paper in the blender and see how they could all combine. The process is to first put the ripped up paper in the blender and pour water in. Then you blend it. Then you pour it into the water and put the screen in then water with the cover on it so the paper is a rectangle and get a good amount of the mushed up paper onto it. Then you take it out and let some of the excess water pour out. Then you flip it onto the canvas and dry it with a sponge. My first paper was the most interesting to me. It was a light blue color. I put some type of weed that grew from the ground into it. It came out really well because it looks like there are little beads in it. My second one was a red color. My third one looked very similar to my first one. My last paper was a thick piece of orange paper. I think making paper is really interesting and i think it would be a really cool idea to make a collage with the different paper with different materials.
