ADD some Visual Spice to homemade paper  This project used my first paper pulp! Made from vegetable skins, yard waste, & discarded mail among other fibers. The texture is wonderful as is. To add some visual spice-- use chalk pastels to bring in more color and 'light', and layer up with cut paper scraps, finish with rubber stamping (x's) for effect. Paper-making supplies are easy to gather & instructions are readily available on the internet.
