One of my favorite things about the Internet is that it allows me to connect with like-minded artist from all over the globe. One of my favorite book artists is Liz Constable and I’m very fortunate to have received her new book “DIY Notebooks made easy”.
In it she describes how she creates the amazing paper she uses in her notebooks, so I just had to give it a try.
The longer the paper sits in the coffee, the darker it gets.
If you place things on the paper while it’s drying, the area under them will be lighter. It looks like I finally found a use for all those cookie cutters I bought years ago and never used.
Here is a stack of the finished product. They smell as amazing as they look!
