Ornaments for Walls
Papercast Vintage Bibs
A pair of papercast bibs that are rich in the surface pattern of stitch and lace.
The original bibs have been handmade with skill, dedication and love.
I enjoy the shadows of the papercast bibs as they change with the light of day and night.
Papercasting is a process of making the paper in situ over the object.
When all the excess water, that has suspended the fibres, is extracted the intricate detail of the object is revealed.
This papercasts are from decorative vintage baby bibs.
Handmade Linen Paper
The paper is made from the linen remains of fabric from making products.
The linen is transformed back to individual fibres creating a pulp through the 'critter' machine.
The 'critter is an innovative version of the original hollander beater created and made by Mark Lander in New Zealand.

Linen from the Flax Plant
The flax plant takes around 100 days from planting to maturity, when the flowers bloom it is a spectacle that people celebrate and enjoy.
Unlike cotton, the entire plant is used including the roots, which are as deep as the plant is tall.
