My paper isn't pressed enough to make nice albums - I'd need to get something quite serious. I found it more exciting to see what I could use in the process - seeds, leaves, petals, different types of paper for recycling - things like that. I even used money in some of my paper - coins as well as paper money!

All papermaking apprentices please line up outside the Potting Shed, bring your own lunch, tea and mugs provided. Jesse do we need a separate spot for Potting Shed Sessions, or do we just put them in the appropriate section? You do realise what you've started, Plocket, don't you? n Back to top Plocket Evergreen Joined: 16 Feb 2006 Posts: 865 Location: The playroom!

No I haven't won the lottery - I was thinking about photo copying them - but I think that is illegal as well. Maybe had better place safe with monopoly money - photocopied of course! I never knew that you could do so much with paper! My imagination is running riot! I just have to make time to do it all. _________________ I am at that purple age!

Once they were printed I laminated them to make coasters. I never even thought about the legal bit of this, they looked nothing like the "real" thing once they were finshed so hopefully I've not broken the law. I'll go do a Google I think.......... _________________ Take care Kathy Back to top Lottie Evergreen Joined: 16 Feb 2006 Posts: 740 Posted: 20 Feb 2006 09:18 pm Post subject: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kathy wrote: I scanned some notes, then resized and recoloured in Photoshop, before printing.
