I've been making my own business cards from scratch. I first made paper pulp by shredding bits of used paper and cardboard. I also included the pre-shredded remains of the Yoshizawa crab (see previous post). After soaking and further shredding to an even finer consistency with a kitchen blender I added some pencil shavings for extra texture and colourful detail. The pulp was then dispersed in a tub before 'pulling' card sized sheets of paper with a specially constructed mesh sieve. Those wet sheets where transferred onto felt and left to dry. After drying and flattening I stamped on my address and (hand-cut) logo.
