I have been crafting and sewing so much lately trying out new patterns and ideas. You can see some of it on my youtube channel.

The papermaking has not made it on there yet but maybe in the future. I still got some experimenting to do to get the best paper. And I just ordered a new mould and deckle, from Etsy, that hopefully won't disintegrate when I use them. Like the picture frames I'm using now are starting to do. They were perfect when trying out papermaking and seeing if it's something you wanna continue doing but when dipping in water over and over they start to fall apart. I got the cheap A4 size photo frames you can find in dollarstore.
I soften the paper a day or two before I use my mixer to make pulp.
