I’m not sure I like this effect as much as some of the others. The lines that fill the page remind me of tea stained paper although I do like the way the colour fades out towards the edges.

Ideas/ Brain storm
- Use inspiration from the time when people used to write letters to their sweethearts and spray them with perfume so they would smell of them.
- Write a letter to different people – make a paper that smells like a scent that reminds me of them.
Potentially write something short and sweet . . .‘smelt this, thought of you’
OR
- I could write recipes onto different scented paper e.g:
-anna – peppercorn sauce
– Mum – vanilla essence – Victoria sponge
– Sophie – salt – seasalt chocolate
– Phoebe – cinnamon bun
– Ben – mixed herbs – pizza sauce
– Dad – beer
– Eliza – chocolate sprinkles – ice cream sundae
A4 paper and Cinnamon
Cinnamon is one of my favourite flavours/ smells and therefore this outcome has to be m favourite from that perspective. I really like the colour and the illusion it gives. It looks like you can feel the grains of cinnamon however the paper still feels smooth.
A4 paper and cut up blue fabric
A4 paper and Chilli flakes
Experimentation – White A4 paper and blue fabric
I really like the result of this outcome but only on one side. The side in which you can see all of the fabric doesn’t look like paper and the fabric is too prominent however the other side I feel is interesting. If I were to re-do this style I’d try to add paper either side to hide more of the fabric.
Experimentation – Newspaper
This experiment I feel is one of my least favourites. The outcome was too thick and the colour is not appealing. I did not take into account the different colours present or consider that they could run. From this I have learnt to consider the amount of colours present and also to think about the length of time I blend the initial materials for.
Experimentation – Egg boxes and fabric
Experimentation – A4 paper and egg boxes continued
Experimentation – A4 white paper and egg boxes
First attempt –
Slightly too thick due to not enough water. 90% egg box and 10% A4 paper
Second attempt – I used roughly 90% A4 paper and 10% egg boxes
Third attempt – Using a lot more water here creating a thinner consistency. I really like the colour of this piece and the texture from the thicker bits of the egg box. I want to try next using more paper and blending the egg box in for only 3 seconds rather than 10 to create more of a contrast.
