papermaking

I've been wanting to try papermaking for awhile now, but just ha*en't gotten around to it. I thought this would be a great way to recycle some of the spam mail that comes through here, as well as create some with the dried flowers we have, and will ha*e.

Have any of you tried it? Tips and suggestions?

I understand that the recycled paper can come out grey and unattractive- is there anyway to keep that from happening?

Also, what are you doing with your handmade papers?

I can't wait to hear what you have!
