Use paint prepared in Activity 2.5, as well as tempera paints, to paint an image on a piece of handmade paper. The shape or contour of the handmade paper may suggest an animal or object. Try to create an interesting unit of painted paper. 

Create a collage made of various sizes and types of unpainted paper glued to a collage ground. The pieces of paper should overlap and cover all or most of the ground, and all comers should be secured so that the paper is as flat as possible. Include your handmade paper in the collage. 

Since the treated papers all ended with essentially the same chemical impregnant, a basic magnesium carbonate, properties were essentially the same from either treatment. There were some minor differences. The surface deposits from the magnesium methoxide showed up as increased paper thickness and in the case of the handmade paper, as significantly higher brightness from the white surface deposits. The solvent alone shows some beneficial effect, presumably a result of washing out of some of the free acid and other impurities in the paper, but the improvement by the solvent alone is very small. 

Certainly the use of pulp for repair is in its infancy. Improvements in production techniques and increased craftsmanship will no doubt follow developing interest in this subject. Whatever new procedures are found in the future, however, it is hoped that the materials used would not be accessible only to the conservator with costly, highly specialized equipment. Some commercial papermills and at least two manufacturers of handmade paper have provided pulp of a few different kinds to conservators, but there is little or no economic incentive to produce the variety of pulps needed, so these sources of supply may not be available... 

All paper was made by hand until the early nineteenth century. Artists use most of the handmade paper consumed today, though hand printers can still be found who believe it the finest printing surface available. 

Handmade paper is formed by dipping a tray with a mesh base (the mould) into a suspension of fibres in water, lifting the mould from the vat of fibre... 

Writing papers are used almost exclusively for manual writing. They are super-calendered and can contain varying amounts of rags. This group also includes handmade papers, moldmade papers, bond, and air mail papers.
