New from Old

Very excited to have picked up my custom order of Dodgy Paper this week! A few weeks back I cleaned the studio out, culling old unfinished or unwanted drawings. Rather than tossing it into the yellow bin, I gave it all to Roger at Dodgy to make me new sheets!

 

My big stack of new A4 paper! Nearly 100 sheets! Created primarily from Fabriano Artistico, St. Cuthberds and various 300gsm art paper. Look at how much paper!!!

 Roger gave me some lovely extra coloured sheets to play with. Plus I purchased some Lousy Ink pens. These are pens made from recycled plastic and inks from photocopiers.

 

Paper making in process at Dodgy from my paper.

 

All the old paper, sorted into cruddy, good, better, best (in the box)

Can't wait to have a little play with my new paper and new pens.
Oh, and Roger has little kits for sale so you can make your own A5 sheets at home! Check out his link and the link for Louse ink below.
