I've been busy making paper!



Paper sorted into colour piles, ready to recycle into handmade seeded paper.

Coloured paper all ripped up and ready to pulp.

Red and purple shredded paper soaking overnight, ready to go into the blender.

 I've been really busy making seeded paper while I've been on holidays. The weather has been a bit iffy, but I managed to find a couple of nice sunny days to set up my paper making supplies in the front garden and get messy making some paper. I've made purple, red and white so far - I can't wait to print cards on them and get GrowMe off and running properly.

I also planted some of the leftover Christmas gift tags that I gave out to friends last year, it has only been a few days and they are sprouting already!

Green seeded paper scraps with flower seeds in them.

A bit hard to see, but there are a few tiny seedlings here! (Click on the photo to see it larger)
