Hello Lovelies!
This recycled paper project has proven a bit more complex than I than I thought it would be. All my fault, nothing to do with the paper.
Things to remember....
--after boiling the paper, cool it before putting it in the blender.
--PUT THE TOP ON THE BLENDER EVEN IF IT IS COOLED, AND ESPECIALLY IF IT IS STILL BOILING. (I learned that one the hard way.) graphic image to illustrate this point:
Oh yeah, that's a big bad burn on my forearm right below my wrist. Thank goodness for my husbands first-aid skills it is healing and no longer hurts...as much.
Here is the little collage I ended up making from my recycled paper.
This stuff is thicker and harder than cardboard.
I shoulda used the screen, instead I hand pressed the pulp into a mold.
In honor of my first earthquake I present to you, Virginia.
