Pages of Pages - a book I entered into the county fair this year. Finally pulped another batch of missprints, this time working with Hammermill 20lb Cream (off-white in color). Tucked some leaves under the sheets when I dried them for a nice debossing effect.
This paper gave up its toner a little more easily than others I've worked with, resulting in a batch with strong "cookies 'n cream" vibes- lightly speckled everywhere. The spots of text that are still visible are infrequent but still charming. Will have a macro post of them later. Has an actual deckled fore-edge and a very tidy black and white sewn headband. Cover's a bit lumpy because the paper I make isn't large enough to fully span it, thus there's some layering going on.
Always pleasing to reclaim squandered pages and then to immediately use up all the freshly made supplies- I tend to get ~20 sheets per batch and this needed all but a couple of them.
