Chapter 3 - Texture and Relief in Paper

Having thought I'd concentrate on bark textures during chapter 1, looking at my research for this chapter I was attracted to the sand and leaf pictures too....so have used all 3 in this investigation.
















Tissue over very small pieces of ripped tissue showing texture of flaking bark

Small ripped and twisted pieces plus a plain pulled piece of handmade paper
to show the change in texture of Norwegian bark






















Rolled serviette under tissue showing sand texture

Small scrunched serviette showing the knobbly texture of bark
























Tissue Paper twisted and cut to show fine leave texture

Tissue Paper folded and scrunched to show texture in the sand
