Soak up more water with your sponge through the back of the screen. Move around, paying attention to the edges.

With your sheet formed, tilt your screen to drain the excess water out. When its only dripping intermittently, you can couch it.

This is what you're going for. The paper's cellulose will bind itself, you just need to gather it evenly on your screen.

This is how the pulp looks with some of that blue flyer thrown in. Remember that your dried paper will be one to three shades lighter than your pulp.

Whoops! Here I am trying to show you the way to do things and I go and overfill the blender!

Using a screen when draining will help you reclaim any leftover pulp, which can be squeezed out and left to dry. When you make paper later, this pulp can be broken up and re-blended.

. . . then the pulp will follow with some suggestive plopping.

The water will pour off first. . .

Paper pulp will do a number on your pipes, so use your screen or a colander in the sink when you drain your vat.

When you're done making sheets, top off your pile with another 'felt' and some more newspaper. The result is called a "post".

Brown paper bags don't blend up that well, so give it more blending if you don't like the chunks (which I do).

Cover your new paper with another 'felt', then some more newspaper, and you're ready to go again.

This is "couching". Line up your screen on your 'felts' and. . .

Mix up your pulp and water by stirring your hand around in it. This is called "charging" your vat. You'll want to do this before you make each sheet, or thereabouts, any time the paper and water start to separate.

Prepare your space. Next to the vat, depending on your handed-ness, lay down some newspaper and then a 'felt'. Have the rest of your newspaper and 'felts' nearby. Once you get going, you're not going to want to search around.

Add your pulp to the vat. I use three blenders of pulp to one blender of water. This will make a nice soup, not too thick, not too watery, and about the right height (near the middle) in the vat.

The lid is very important in this process. If your pulp goes flying all over it will be awful to clean up. You want to blend until your motor sounds a little tired (best explanation), then up your speed and blend for another 10-30 seconds.

This ended up being a nice neutral-like light blue.

After three to five sheets, you'll find that your paper is getting thin and maybe being a brat about releasing from the screen. Time to add more pulp. This batch is white with some brown paper bag thrown in.

Squeeze excess water out of your sponge as you go, you want to get as much water out of your paper as possible so it will release from the screen.

. . . flip it over. The water in the screen should hold the paper to your screen enough for you to do this.

I didn't have any cleats to go under my board so I pulled apart 2 clothes pegs and glued them to the underside of the board....Easy!!!!

My two favorite ways to tie a scarf:

 

Hacking Twist

Chi Chi Wrap

 

I learned the first from my friend Amy Storer-Scalia (who learned it from her dentist!) and I invented the second.

Gather the supplies. The most difficult thing to find is a piece of plastic or plexiglass. You want a non-porous surface for your plate. You could use glass, but I don't like to mess with it.

 

UPDATE: You can use unflavoured gelatin to make a plate, instead of plexiglass or plastic [link].

It's not easy to make clothes for small clothes and it's not easy to design patterns, but this could be a good start!

"vapour stitch". I don't know if that is a new method, please tell me!

Where do the images come from in a stereographic projection? here is the answer.

 

This is a ripoff of manu's image, with gadl's comment included.

Mark a 1-inch fold line on the longside of the printer paper. If you're using a different sized template, use half the height.

 

(I have a 2-inch template, so I used a 1-inch fold line).
