Spring is sprung! New member @jenniferbs_world say

Spring is sprung! New member @jenniferbs_world says part of her practice is making miniature paper sculptures, mostly flowers and plants, using recycled materials and found objects - in this case a tiny cardboard box found amongst her mother's things - and incorporating her own photography. This piece is called Spring Box, and has very personal meaning for Jen. #papersculpture #paperflowers #paperflora #papercrafts #botanicalart #paperplay #paperbotanical

Dirty dyeing, anyone? Lyn Nicholls @lynprintmaker

Dirty dyeing, anyone? Lyn Nicholls @lynprintmaker has been having witchy fun eco printing onto watercolour paper, using plants from her garden in a 'dirty' dye pot with bark, rusty nails, bits of old iron from the shed, and a good slug of white vinegar. These plants worked best for her: leaves of eucalyptus, blackberry, strawberry, geranium, silky oak, and tibouchina; flowers of dandelion, daisy, and cape weed. She found good uses for her eco prints in folded books and collage.#ecoprinting #ecoprintingonpaper #botanicalprinting #printingwithplants #foldedbooks #papercollage #dirtydyeing

A reminder that spring comes around. This discarded wad of paper pulp, made from old paddock grasses, was left in a dry bucket. Before long - ta-dah! New life. Tough stuff, grass. And patient. ....#paperpulp #papermakingwithplants #germination #workingwithplants #nothingwasted

Another intriguing use of paper: Wrinkles" (29" x 28" x 8") mulberry paper & wire, by @amygenserstudio. Amy (based in West Hartford CT, USA) uses paper as pigment, and constructs her pieces by layering, cutting, rolling, and combining paper.
