Have any scrap paper? Recycle!, by kalm on Aug 23, 2011 15:50:19 GMT 1, Thinking of new projects for my Early Autism Intervention class and came up with casting recycled paper into usable sheets or sculpture (2D & 3D)...asking around for scraps of good quality paper that people may not use after sizing their print runs...any amount, shape, color would be appreciated as it will be slurried & casted...I think there are a lot of valuable lessons to be had doing this simple project...I can even send donors a finished piece from their contributions and some Autism Awareness stuff!

Have any scrap paper? Recycle!, by kalm on Aug 23, 2011 16:16:19 GMT 1, I've tried to use regular paper but it doesn't mend well...cardboard worked a little better but after some research I've found that the fiberous papers hold their shape the best....probably why they are more expensive!...I've also heard that you can use old cut up t-shirts as well, but haven't tried...any techniques/suggestions from people who cast paper would be great as well! Thanks,
