A Colorful Custom Book

Making this colorful book for Lauraleigh was a true pleasure! To create this piece, I mixed different colored pulps to create not only a bespoke cover paper but a one-of-a-kind journal.

Chasing Texture on Handmade Paper

Texture is one of the key attributes of a piece of handmade paper. My journey into papermaking is coming to the one-year mark and texture has been one of the main drivers of change in my process. I’ve been chasing it, on the hunt for the perfect smooth texture that makes both writing and art seamless.

Making Handmade Leaf Paper

I made paper, out of leaves! Okay, not 100% out of leaves, but pretty close. Ever since I started making paper last summer, making paper with leaves was something I was interested in experimenting with. And, I finally did it!

Making Handmade Grass Paper

I remember exactly where I was on November 3, 2020. Making grass paper. I was stressed about the presidential election, so I figured why not give this strange paper idea a try, while keep my mind from pondering the day’s events? What’s the worst that could happen?

Making Handmade Coffee Paper

I tried making handmade coffee paper when I was still in my very early days of learning how to make paper. Making handmade coffee paper was something I had wanted to try from the get-go, since I have such a strong love (and need, really) for coffee. It seemed only natural that I try using it in my handmade paper.
