The vase below began with 2 sheets of handmade paper molded on a jar. Once dry, I added artist’s bleeding tissue, paper pulp and tarlatan. I glued the two pieces together and added a base to the bottom. I also added some molding paste, a clay ornament and 3 sticks wrapped with a decorative napkin and blue thread from my sister’s collection of spools. Also, see some more paper bowls with cheesecloth, stitches and yarn added along with the wet strength artist’s paper. The yellow one with the twig is made with paper pulp molded in a bowl, yellow rose petals, thread, a wool felted “stone” and a twig dipped in wax. White yarn was dipped in matte medium to stiffen it and then adhered to the rim.
