Making paper 

As a personal project i decided to try out making my own paper, and trying out different materials to see what is all possible with recycling materials into usable paper. In my experiments I've found out that egg cartons make for a surprisingly smooth paper with a nice brown colour. Using paper that I would otherwise have thrown away like advertisement brochures and printed paper make sturdy paper with an interesting texture. 

Made from scraps of printed paper; using mostly white paper resulted in white thick paper which is really nice to paint on

This is completely made with egg cartons, making it a nice brown paper with white details through it

A mix of leftover paper and advertisement brochures. Leaving some of the advertisement paper pieces bigger gives it a cool homemade recycled vibe. 

Two different types of pulp, poured together to create a dual colour paper. 

The same as the one above, but with more movement to create a more interesting and original design.
