Types of Paper for Recycled Paper Art

On behalf of tvlesson.com my name is Sherie Tengbergen. I’m a professional artist with
the watercolorgourmet.com. In this clip on recyclable paper art I am going to show you
different types of paper that you can make and we are going to start over here. These two
pieces of paper have been made using leftover or thrown out simple white paper towel
and this particular one I put a little bit of blue tissue paper in with it which gives it the
nice blue color.

This one I took actually from Halloween, a spider web netting and put that into the paper
as it was drying and you see that it has this nice texture and when you pull it that netting
comes out. It’s really nice. These two were done with pieces of leaves and some papyri in
different colors and some gold strands and that was inner woven into the paper.

This one was colored with tissue paper that has some leaves in it. And went from your
dryer which is another great thing that you can add to the paper that you make. These are
all dried leaves and this is all green leaves with a little bit of green food coloring to color
the paper. Over here are some examples of dried leaves and barked dust and coffee
grounds that have been put into the paper to make this great texture. And down
underneath here, this is a paper that I made ahead of time was salt coffee and tea and I
will rip that up and put that into the blender also.

And finally these are made with white computer paper and this particular sheet I’m really
proud of this is a great big sheet and water colored paper. I’m going to iron it and then
I’m going to do a water color on top of this paper. So there are some examples, there’s
some really cool papers you can make.
