I know you have been waiting for this video for quite some time. It is honestly so hard to film it as well as concentrate on what I was doing while being extra careful not to damage my filming equipment because of the messy process. So, I didn’t do a perfect batch of papers but that’s the truth about handmade paper, they will never always be perfect but you learn from each experience and get better at it. The key to making it or anything is really just practice and learning. I will have some resources and links below for you all. I hope you enjoy and just want to thank those who are offering to answer questions in the comments, it really is helpful and useful to others and we can all learn from each other. I think this is the last of the highly requested videos, if you have any other videos you want me to film, do let me know. Take care my friends and see you guys soon 🤎

* C-Clamps from the hardware store (ACE)
* Blender: Get a blender that can handle blending more solid material/ ice crushing option sold me 😂 but the first one I was using was terrible and would constantly stop mid way.

The best way to really learn is by trying it out and just research ways you want to improve by tackling a single thing and go from there and along the way you’ll find many more resources or tools you would need.

Now I know why these "recycled" papers are so expensive. They use a lot of resources to turn fancy paper into fancier paper. As always, reuse is always better and come first before recycle.

What is sizing? Wait let me google it. Edit: ahhh so it’s the thing that gives paper its ink retaining quality. Like the it makes the difference between water color and regular paper. Makes sense

Imagine being in a World War 3 alive and then you need paper to write your feelings in the diary.....

You shud have used used paper sis, you are using blank paper, breaking it down, and again making the same thing🙃

The great thing is also you can do this with even recycled newspaper or egg cartons.

It would be so wonderful if you couls talk about how you think differently from what you have learned! Thanks for transparency of your paper journey. Many of us are also on a paper journey. Mine is different than yours but the passion is very similar.

Thank you for this video, as others have said... very calming. What I appreciate as well, is no music; too many videos are ruined because of hyped up tunes.
