I couldn’t bring myself to repulp these.
Every sheet of paper I make leaves a few offcuts behind — pieces too small, too odd-shaped, or just left over once I’ve cut what I needed. Usually they go back in the vat and become something else entirely.
But some of them are just too nice for that. A corner of dusty blue. A scrap of sage green. A shape that doesn’t fit anything I’m currently making, but is clearly still good paper.
So instead of pulping them back down, I started bundling them into packs — warm tones in one, cool tones in the other. Nothing wasted, nothing forced into a shape it didn’t want to be.
They’re in Marras Nook now, £3 a pack, and they’ve genuinely become one of my favourite things I make.
What would you make with a pack like this — collage, journaling, something else entirely?
