Handmade paper bound books

 These are a couple of examples of handmade paper books that I did with my students when I was student teaching in a high school setting. We made paper in the classroom and after pressing out the sheets the students learned a number of methods of binding so they could make journals from their handmade paper.

Students added dye to the vat of pulp and flower metals and leaves to add visual interest and color to their pulp which produced a variety of interesting effects.
