I made two sheets from a single cigarette box, to get a thinner paper. I added the wax strips from two NetFlix envelopes for sizing. Put that mini-post in the press as usual.
Then I went to make a yellow sheet. My idea was to make a thick, fibrous sheet from which to make candle flames for a birthday card. I used an entire sheet of yellow office paper, blendered and poured the sheet, and then moved it directly from the mould to a couch sheet, without pressing any water out. I put it on the patio table to dry in the sun, figuring the water would evaporate and leave me with a very fluffy sheet.
Very pleased with myself, I came into the office to make this entry. Two minutes later, I heard rain. (LOL again) I jumped over to the kitchen window, and sure enough, big heavy droplets were attacking my nice yellow paper. I ran out to retrieve it. It looks like swiss cheese now. And I was worried that a bird would poop on it.
I believe everything happens for a reason. I think I can hear God chuckling.
