I was over a friend's house and she gave me a piece of mulberry paper. I crumpled up the paper, and we dyed it with tea, coffee, tea bags, coffee grounds. I think a bit of walnut ink, too.

I think your paper will look cool on a page even if you don't think it looks like. Its always surprising how often those not so wonderful bits end up working on a page. Hope its a good wek.
