"Tea 'n Turps"




Published 2009

"Tea 'n Turps" takes a humorous look at the lives and work of 12 well-established artists living and working in Ireland. The book is sub-titled "Taking Tea with Artists" and show-cases Lynda's ability to draw the anecdotes and human interest stories from these sometimes eccentric folk. It showcases the artists as human beings before looking at their philosophies, influences and techniques. A delightful book!

HOW TO MAKE HANDMADE PAPER
INTRODUCTION
Making handmade paper is quite likely the most economical and "green" creative activity you can enjoy in your home or art studio.
All materials used are recyclable and nothing is ever wasted. Even mistakes, or reject sheets made during the process, can be returned to the pulp vat to make another sheet.
The pulp is made from recycled paper and/or fibrous plant materials; the decorative content in the paper is usually vegetable or other plant fibres; colourings used can be natural, if you choose; and the only equipment you need apart from general household items, is a wooden deckle and mould set.
What will you use your handmade paper for? Writing paper, envelopes, wrapping paper, boxes, paper to paint on, writing calligraphy, greeting cards, book covers, promotional correspondence, wedding invitations, anniversary and special occasion stationary, collages, and much more …..
Although it is tempting to skim through the instructions on how to make pulp and paper, and rush into making your first sheet, take the time to read the whole book first. It will help you to plan how to achieve the most attractive pulp, and which method of papermaking to use, for your particular purpose. Half the pleasure is in the planning and preparation!
