Linsey-Woolsey (2008)
Handmade linen and wool paper,
etching, linen thread
Edition of 2
I love handmade paper and this paper is especially interesting to me. Amy has taken a plant-based fiber (linen from the flax plant) and an animal-based fiber (wool) and processed them together to create paper. This “linsey-woolsey” paper is not just beautiful, it also has a wonderful texture. The paper really embodies the message of the text.
