Video Discription |
Hey everyone, my name is Cory and I am an artist who makes environmental and ecological inspired artwork. Lately I've been really into paper making... specifically paper made from plants! A few videos back I handmade paper from grass and printed on it! That work was only 6x9 inches, so in the near near future I am planning on revisiting the idea with a slightly new spin and at a much larger scale (somewhere around 3 - 4 feet!).
To get to that goal, I needed to make my own DIY mould and deckle. I decided to make one that would give me 12x12 inch paper because the pieces will eventually make it easier to assemble work that is in 1x1 foot increments (and save space! — a four foot mould and deckle would be awesome but I have to be realistic!).
After a bit of research I decided on the material and plan seen in this video. It's just a simple design, but I hope it is perfect for someone who is learning like myself. I am very happy with the results for my first time!
Coming next, as I build up to one of my next art projects, I plan on testing the mould with recycled paper, experimenting with different printing techniques (like cyanotype on natural paper!), and of course more grass (or plant) paper! I also have some non-paper related art projects brewing!
If you know more about mould and deckles and want to give me any tips, please do!
Stay tuned for more nature inspired art and BIG thank you to any one watching, commenting, subscribing, or just reading this!
Materials and tools I used in this video:
1x2x8 furring strip boards
Fiberglass window screen
Staplegun
Wood glue
(8) Screws
Beeswax (or any other water repelling sealer)
Miter saw
Tape measure
Square
Drill (with counter sink bit)
Clamps
Masking Tape
A Pencil!
Most of the tools and materials I had already, but I did have to buy the furring strip board and screen. For anyone curious, it cost me about $16 and I have lots of screen leftover!
