Paper Beautiful Paper

My paper samples arrived on Friday from Gmund! I first learned about Gmund from Oh so Beautiful Paper. I have a passion for paper and it makes me go weak at the knees. It was inevitable that I would end up doing something that involved using loads and loads of fantastic papers. Printmaking, my one passion, lets me delve into my second passion, Paper!

Let me just make a note at how impressed how quickly my samples arrived considering they came from Germany, they were free samples and I didn't pay a penny towards the postage! In the UK you pay masses on postage and it takes forever! I am absolutely amazed! But more amazed than that I am in awe of the beautiful-ness of the paper! It all has different textures and the colours are so vibrant and....just amazing!




I am looking forward to using all these different papers...i am pondering whether they will work with etching but their texture may be an issue when soaking the paper. Screen printing may be the better way to go but I will keep you posted.

So if you are after some really funky paper check out Gmund...order your ten free A4 samples. The variety is widespread and ten samples is really not enough! You have to experience the texture of these papers yourself...any sort of explanation won't suffice, you cannot understand it through a computer screen. So Gmund away!
