The Manipulation of Paper

This week we have been transforming paper that we painted and made last week. It has been fun trying out some new techniques and experimenting with something different.
Our recycled paper doesn’t like to bend to much as the fibers were still quite big even after all the blending. It was lovely to print onto as it had all the texture.
The painted cartridge paper however really held the form we gave it and so could me more elaborate cuts without the paper crumbling. We were able to make small structures that could bend and fold in their own way which will hopefully come in handy next week.
