I taught my Fallbrook School of the Arts Book Arts class how to make this paper today. We used ephemera bits:papers, metal washers that I found near my son's metal shop, hand carved stamp papers, and other great stuff. These were layered and glued between organzia and thin rice papers. Next week we're going to make exposed stitch beaded book using these papers as covers. Delightful!
Speaking of Book Arts, my next class starts soon!

Organza?? I wanna play! Though with those metal washers, I may not want to machine stitch...
so true about the metal washers....I'm hoping for great rust!
