So, here’s a few papers I have made to add into my book… I was doing some suminagashi with students the other day, just thought it would be interesting to collage into my book. An unsuccessful attempt at book binding pictured above as I painted some heavy print paper and and added spray paint. I was really experimenting with yarn and binding techniques but my original idea didn’t work out as planned, I think I will stick to working inside a found book! 
These I glued into my book of shells though! 
I’m liking these Brette. It would be cool to see you draw or paint on top of these papers!
thanks ! yes, that is my plan, its also so fun just to paint these papers!
I agree with Lindsay. Have you tried sewing on some of these pages? Maybe the ones you said there were not so thick in quality?
I agree with Melissa and Lindsay, and wouldn’t want you to give up on creating your own books
