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

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 fine I blend my pulp. How you blend yours is up to personal taste. I like a few chunks. A sturdy blender and some patience will get your finer pulp and therefore finer-grained paper, but if you wanted perfect paper, you would buy it instead of making it.

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".

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

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.

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.

Starting from a corner, pull your screen off the paper. If it won't let go, plop it back down and soak up more water with the sponge.

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.

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!!!!

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].

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

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).

[Digital Library link]

1.Download your lol from ichc

 

a.On www.icanhascheezburger.com go to your lol's page (eg. this one is mine.icanhascheezburger.com/view.aspx?ciid=3948250)

b.Highlight the title of the lol (the text above it) and copy it

(you don't have to do this - I just find it makes it easier to title the lol in flickr – we're doing it here so we can easily use the title as the filename)

c.Right click on the lol pic

d.Choose [Save Image As...] from resulting drop down menu

e.In the Save Image window that pops up, choose the directory on your computer you want to save the lol to

f.Paste the title of the lol in the filename field

g.Click [Save]

h.Repeat for all the lols you want on flickr

i.Your lol is saved on your computer!

 

1a. An alternative way to save your lol

If you've screencapture software (eg. MW Snap) you could capture the lol and details underneath it to fully credit loller and picture - see stilskweekz (peregrin)'s example here.

 

2.Log on to www.flickr.com

 

a.Log on to www.flickr.com (whole other story to join - lemme know if you want a how-to for that!)

 

3.Upload your lol

 

a.There's a series of links at the top of the page - [home] [you] [organise] etc - select [You]

b.Select [Upload Photos and Videos] from the pulldown menu

c.I've had a couple of different pages come up in response but they're all similar

d.This bit should be straightforward, but just in case ... Click on [Choose Photos and Videos]

e.Go to the directory you saved the lol(s) in

f.In the resulting Select Files etc window you can select just one file at a time or, if you've several in the same directory you can select individual ones using [Ctrl] or a block using [Shift] when you click on the lol

g.Click on [Open]

h.Your lol or list of lols should be shown on the flickr page

i.Set the privacy using the toggle buttons

j.Click on [Upload Photos and Videos]

k.You'll now get options to add titles, tags, etc. or you might have to click on a [description] button (it varies when I visit it!)

l.When you're done click the Save button

m.Now your lols are added to flickr!

 

4.Add you lol to a pool

 

a.If you look at the individual lols you've just added (go to [You]/[Your Photostream] and click on the lol) you'll see they have options directly above them - [Add Note] [Send to Group] [Add to Set] etc. Select [Send to Group] and you'll get a pulldown menu of the groups you're a member of.

b.Select the group/pool you want to add your lol to.

c.You're done!

 

If you're going to be uploading a lot of pics onto flickr you might like to try their uploading software – it lets you set up descriptions, titles and tags on your own computer before you upload. I find it very useful. www.flickr.com/photos/upload/basic/

 

Note: you need to be a member of a group/pool to add lols/pics to it.

 

I use the lol title for the flickr title and add 'by muriell' for mine, or credit who did the lol if it wasn't me.

 

Tags: I use 'ichc' for everything from ichc and the name of the loller. If you want to use a tag with more than one word, eg. 'animal rights' you need to put quotes around it. Tags make it easier for other people to find pics they're interested in so it's good manners to add tags.

 

Description: I try and credit whoever took or uploaded the picture in the description - apart from that it's up to you!

 

Think that's it. Please feel free to add any clarfications - or ask for them - below.

 

Hope this halps!!

Kthxbye.
