Paste Paper making

There are lots of recipes out there,
here's mine:
ten parts water to one part corn starch,
bring to a boil, cool to warm,
add one part mod podge glue,
add an acrylic colorant to your content.

Instead of using my fingers I use a trowel with teeth to make patterns.
I also use stamps that I have made and bought, quite often I find packing
materials that work as a stamp as well.

Here I'm rubbing orange into the paper using a sponge and then brushing on
a complimental blue and then troweling through the blue revealing the orange underneath.
