Chopped threads and a bit of wool added to some of the paper pulp and water.
What it looked like as paper.
I am wondering at what point would there be too much thread and not enough paper to hold together?
I am also thinking of wet felting. I have added threads to wool to make a textured felt and to make yarn.
This was made by laying the thread on top of the paper pulp while it was on the screen and then flipping it off the screen to dry. I will be doing more of this!
The threads that were placed on top of the wet paper and then pressed into the paper with my fingers didn't stay very well.
Now I know.
And for this one I made a piece of paper as the base, laid strings across the paper and then placed another piece of paper over the top. I have done something similar to this with wool felt.
When I am ready I will drop ink on top.
I am thinking a lot about how felt making and paper making are very similar.
