Synopsis: The ultimate guide to the wonderfully versatile craft of papermaking! Modern Papermaking shows you how to create countless paper sheets with just a few tools and practice. Among many other things, the paper you make can be a foundation for painting, illustration, stationery, and lettering. Handmade paper can upgrade the starting point of your creative work, or you can use the techniques to create stand-alone works of art to display, gift, and share. The craft is relatively easy and accessible since all the essential tools and supplies needed can be DIY&’d, recycled, and thrifted. This book includes thirteen projects, ranging from bold and eye-catching to professional and fine-art quality. You&’ll also get tips and practical advice on selling your one-of-a-kind paper collections for other makers to use in their 2D work. With an endless variety of add-ins and decorative techniques, papermaking is an infinitely entertaining skill!
