Any leftovers from our torn edge journals are bundled into bags for a rainy day ... literally! The weather hasn't been that great here over the past little while, so yesterday we took out the paper making equipment and had a play. Not the best weather for paper making, but it's been a while since either of us made paper and we were itching to give it another try.

| Paper scraps are soaked over night. |
 |
| The next day, they're mulched with electric mixers. |
 |
| We added some green tissue paper to the bath (on the right). |
 |
| After being pressed to remove excess water, pages are hung to dry overnight. |
 |
| After they're completely dry and pressed, they'll be ready for use! |
Some lovely embossing (above) was revealed when we removed the dry papers from the fabric. We produced around twenty pages with this batch and still have pulp leftover, so we will be making another batch soon!
