Hand-made paper calendar

I mentioned before that I've been on a paper-making kick. My first project was a few months ago, before Christmas. I was trying to make all of my gifts by hand, and there were a few people on my list that I thought would appreciate a calendar, of my design and printed on hand-made paper. Here's how it turned out:

I'm really happy with it. (Sorry about the photo quality – I must get a nice camera soon!) I only did an edition of eight prints, so I think I'll reuse the design of the kite-flyers for something else. Maybe it would be a good greeting card, with some kind of nice message (instead of the year) written with the tails.

It was so easy and CHEAP! You literally use your junk mail or old computer printouts or whatever is lying around. I learned how to do it from this great tutorial on Etsy. I won't even try to do a better job of explaining the process. But when I get more into paper-casting (that's making 3-D sculpture out of paper pulp), I'll fill you in on the details. I expect that to be a bit more complicated.
