Paste Grain Papers - the results!

Thanks to Sally for a brilliant day and for providing the raw materials for our day. It was a chance to play with a new technique and see its potential. 


Materials assenbled. Rice flour paste, potato starch paste and gram flour paste available for us to try.


Acrylic paint is mixed into a pit of paste.



A fabulous space for us all to work in. Below are examples of work in progress.





Now we have to consider how we make best use of these lovely papers.
