making paper

you know those fabulous samples of artist papers you find in the middle of the somerset magazines? i find myself always admiring them and then thinking to myself, "roc? why don't you try to make your own paper?" but alas, you know how life goes, it usually diverts me to other things and i never get around to doing it. what a nice surprise i had today as i found myself making some of my own artist paper. i'm not quite sure if they are "done" or not, but i figured i can always add to them if i wake up tomorrow and feel inclined to do so. here are a couple of samples of my paper i made today as well as a postcard i made using another piece of the handmade paper.
