Hand made & hand colored paper

I love paper. I spent some time hand making paper and then hand painting and dying it. I use papyrus and abaca for the base, newsprint as binder and also onion skins and some seeds for texture.
I prefer windsor newton inks, you can water  them down, add salt, rubbing alcohol and get some great effects. For many of these I wet the papers first then drop the inks on them. The paper is naturally porous so the it draws  the inks in different directions.
