I recently started a project in artistic papermaking. I'm making a series of 100 sheets of 8x10 paper, each with a unique color pattern forged from a selection of various types of paper and drops of colored ink and paint. As the pulp settles into a sheet, the colors converge and create a single paper like no other. Though they all share the same mold, each uses slightly different materials, and the results are never the same.
The series takes its name from a method of metal forging wherein a red-hot ingot is pounded into a series of molds to form it into its final shape. The result is much stronger than a simple metal casting, which is why you'll often see it on tools like wrenches.I've added a gallery page for it (but haven't added it to the site officially yet) which you can reach here. I'll add more as I produce them - and I can make 5 in a single batch - so keep checking back.
