Had a really great time working with lovely chamomile waste from to create this gorgeous chamomile paper. Interesting qualities, strength and scent. It still amazes me how different each plant fibre I work with is 🤩

I love working with flower waste from Shropshire Petals to make some really beautiful plant papers 😍. Their lovely blog article below:

A new seasonal selection as I'm updating stock, website, work area etc 🫠🙂

Deckle edged stack made from the pulp balls in the previous post. A gorgeous colour gradient 🤩

Dividing up some 100g pulp balls for the freezer: lavender in the front, a beautiful statice based mix in the middle and a full craspedia load in the back. I love all their different tones! I've got some experimenting to do so a just couple of days ahead... 🙂

I'm slowly getting round to updating my shop and stock; there's not much left! 😁. It seems a great time to introduce some of the products I've been working on with the material I've been getting from and recently. I'll be popping these leftover items from on the shop and I can't wait to get stuck into making more beautiful flower and plant fibre-based products 🌿💜 extremely grateful for the support Paper Lore has been receiving recently 🙏 thank you!

I can't get over this completely charming and relevant watercolour on Paper Lore paper from last year; thanks for sending this photo over, Jem! I can't wait to get this new order over to you 💜 What a gorgeous delphinium painting, I love it! watercolour

Still processing a long and incredibly rewarding week! My worlds have collided and I've had the privilege of selling my Paper Lore products amongst my other-job-shop at . Shropshire Petals is where I am research coordinator but also where my plant-based-waste comes from and so it was deeply satisfying to be able to represent both companies over the weekends and I am intensely grateful. Watching the team absolutely nail organisation and friendliness was inspirational and great food for thought. An unexpectedly emotional sharing of beauty and nature, and an absolute delight to meet and talk to so many flower and paper lovers. As you can probably tell, I'm still on cloud 9 and still can't believe I do what I do with who I do it with. Thank you and massive congratulations to absolutely everyone who grew the first Shropshire Petal Fields - see you all next year 😉💜

A very rainy first Saturday - and we are all set up! People are embracing our summer and arriving to enjoy the flower fields! Paper Lore is all set up and ready to chat to people about turning flower farm waste into paper - enjoy a dry moment in our shop tent!

Very excited to announce that I'll be selling some plant-based-waste specific products alongside the stall for the next week or so! More details and product sneaky peeks coming up but for now... These bouquet wraps are pretty lovely aren't they? Made entirely out of flower farm waste: some office paper and dispatch waste mixed with plant pulp from the farm waste! Can't wait to show you more 🙌💜are you coming to visit us and our gorgeous flower fields? 4th - 13th August 🤩🌸🌼🌻🌿🌱

I was thrilled to meet Prof. Keith Snell and Rachel this weekend, who came to buy some more paper and show me this incredible work! I love seeing the different effects people can achieve on the recycled hand made paper - especially here where Keith is using Chinese Ground Ink to really work with the absorbancy of the paper to great effect! Thanks for stopping by and keeping me informed, Keith!

This has been brewing for a short while so I'm glad to be up and running - want to create your own handmade paper recipe? Make-your-own-mix for something specific? Have a rummage through The Custom Cupboard and see what you feel like making today... Link is in the bio. Happy Sunday!

Dipping back into making art and starting with printmaking.
I made this dragonfly drypoint using and paper. The paper is a bespoke recipe made to my specifications so the results are ideal.
I didn’t actually use an etching press for this — I used a Big Shot Pro die cutting machine with a modified bed and it’s as good as any purpose made press.

Saturday consisted of an entirely enjoyable gorgeous drive to learn about using plant fibres to make paper with Brian from at the stunning Summit Good, Killen Fach Eco Farm. Completely wonderful day and my first ever plant fibre paper is made out of my beloved plantain - plantago lanceolata - stems. Perfect. Thanks, Brian!

A little obsessed with my new white ink and how gorrrrrrrrgeous it looks using these mini stamps on some of my black handmade paper 🖤🤍😍🖤🤍😍🖤🤍😍🖤🤍
