Posted @withregram • @gail_stiffe_books_paper Preparing Blue Connections for posting to Japan for the IAPMA exhibition. Unfortunately the Congress is virtual this year we were booked to go last year but of course that didn't happen😓. This piece is cyanotype on 🍍 leaf paper with kozo branch. Images created from 🌹 leaves, honesty, finger knitting and photocopy of lino print.

Lots happening in our POV community with a lovely mix of online and in person. Always new things to learn. These boats incorporate papermaking, casting, waxing, indigo dyeing, rusting, and paper twining to make string. Posted @withregram • @pulp.paper.page My boats for the Papermate’s “Flotilla” entry in the POV exhibition. Handmade paper hulls made using a @barbadams7395 mould and hot wax. Handmade paper string inspired by the zoom presentation by @anne.gason at our recent General meeting. Rusting was done during a Yabbers day at Ursula’s. Mast timbers were a by product from a kozo workshop by @gail_stiffe_books_paper pre Covid. So feeling very appreciative of the vibrant community that is @papermakers_of_victoria .

There has been a mad flurry of activity over the weekend with the closing of entries for our exhibition. We love the diversity of the submissions. Posted @withregram • @pulp.paper.page Finally put brush to paper on the first POV exhibition piece I started at Halls Gap months ago. Nothing like a looming deadline to get things moving. @gail_stiffe_books_paper
My shadow is the avocado ink we made in your workshop well before Covid. It's still OK.

Even without 2 fully functioning hands, Gail produces beautiful and original work. You will get to meet this gorgeous little fish if you make it to our exhibition in Aug/Sep: Posted @withregram • @gail_stiffe_books_paper Mykiss the money fish designed for collecting gold coin donations for sale of catalogues at Water the Papermakers of Victoria exhibition to be held at Gasworks Arts Park in August this year. About the only thing I've done since I had my right carpel tunnel released in early May.

We love the diversity of our members’ work and skills. Thanks for tagging us Jennifer 🤍🖤🤎Posted @withregram • @artahortabella I love my little handmade notebooks and their wabi sabi imperfections. My current one is battered and full so I made another. Leaves from my garden randomly ecoprint their pages, sewn together with eucalypt-dyed linen, or silk. Their recycled scrap covers carry memories of past paper projects and times. Sometimes there’s even some suminagashi paper inside. The more worn and written in they are the more treasured. But it’s time for a new one .

We love to see your work in progress. Our Yabbers group shared another peek at their exhibition piece: Posted @withregram • @pulp.paper.page The Yabbers' collaborative exhibition piece continues: on Wednesday, with covid restrictions in place, 5 of us met to begin stitching individual members pieces together to form a larger work. Lockdown is now putting a spanner in the works. Fingers crossed this is a short one. I get my first jab tomorrow! 💉✔️.
