Arnold Grummer's Paper Making Process As an Inspiration for La Simero Handmade paper sheets


I have been working with our new branding for our handmade journals here in the Philippines. Through the help of several media such as Pinterest, Etsy, and other crafty blogs available, I was able to establish my own crafty stuff by doing something creative out of the things available at home.

One of the newest things I did is making our handmade paper taken from Arnold Grummer's paper making techniques as an inspiration. Several weeks ago, I saw his videos about how easy it is to make new sheets of paper from recycled scraps of paper and other materials to blend in to the new sheets. You may click on the video below to see yourself how Arnold Grummer recycled papers to make new sheets of papers. 


Based from the video, I have innovated some of his techniques from what is really available at home.


Above are some of the products made from the trimmed handmade paper sheets. These are made from scrap papers blended together with some botanical like dried flowers, leaves, and so on depending on the available resources.

These handmade bookmarks with cute felt designs came from 12 x 12 inches handmade paper that you can see in my Etsy shop listing through this link attached.
