Got a TON of fresh limelight hydrangeas today from my friend's amazing garden! Currently tinting them a few different colors before drying them and dyeing them. Loved this shot of the leftovers soaking in ther blue dye. @lisaacoppola thanks so much! They're going to look so beautiful in our papers! . . . . . #hydrangeas #papermakingwithplants #dyedflowers #blueberrymuffin #handmadepaper #weddingflowers #weddinginvitations #stationery #flowers #hydrangea #limelighthydrangea #bluehydrangea #flowerart https://www.instagram.com/p/B1HjUKpB6cb/?igshid=1jphk0ab8x6fy

How GORGEOUS is this paper that I made with my students at my Papermaking Basics workshop at @wnybookartscenter on Saturday??!! One of my students brought these flowers from her garden and they look stunning! We also added some spent hops from a brewery to the end of the batch. What are your favorite flowers and why? #nofilter #papermaking #flowers #papermakingwithplants #papermaker #workshop #artworkshop #handmadepaper #handmade #ecofriendly #abaca #flowerinclusions #sopretty #vibrant #fuschia #magenta #purpleflowers #hops #beerpaper #papercraftmiracles (at Papercraft Miracles)

'Cecile's Garden', experiments in plant fiber papermaking by longtime papermaker Cecile Webster. In her own words: "The most fascinating part of making paper from plant material is the variety of papers that can be produced. The same plant will often yield vastly different papers. The character of the paper depends upon the time of harvest, what part of the plant is collected (leaf, petiole, inner bark), whether the fiber is used fresh or dried before use, how long the pieces are, how it is beaten (by hand, in a Hollander beater, in a blender), how long it is beaten, and how much fiber is in the vat. I like to experiment with different plants and with various methods of preparation." #cecilewebster #papermakingwithplants #papermakersgarden @bookpaperprint
