Tut.

It was suggested that we made our own paper ( a couple of weeks ago).

This plan was fine. Now knowing that we were not able to create large screen prints of our designs or bags for life due to lack of funding. We were given the alternative of making paper bags out of newspaper that were covered by coloured tissue paper. That was it.

I really was not happy with just this as an alternative, as it would of meant that all of our designs would be wasted. With the suggestion of homepaper still going round. I suggested that we should make minature prints of postcard size to go inside the handmade bags with the other information. And they could be done on the homemade paper.

I researched how to make homemade paper and soon found it wasn't as easy as it sounded - it would take a long time to make any successful amount - that and the fact not everybody owns a blender. A classmate suggested making paper mache sheets. So I tried it over the weekend.

I stuck on a postcard sized print off of my design and soon found that it didn't look very good at all and scrapped the idea before it was too late.

Angry at my blatent failiure, I went back to the drawing board and began thinking of a way that we could get our work out there whilst I created a prototype of a bag using a net that I resized and configured.
