making hand-made paper/card..

i've been making my own cards for a number of years and always loved the hand-made papers - they're so unique, but also quite expensive, so i decided to make my own!

so far, i've really only been recycling paper, but am now also sourcing plants and foods that i can use for dyeing the paper as i make it. also, i'm researching into making my own papers from plant fibres.

i'm having a lot of fun with it, but i think there is such a thing as "too much paper" - now i need to craft a few things into gifts for friends and family (they always such nice things, so i feel safe in offering my efforts to them =)
