Off cuts and scraps put to good use.
Picture: Hand printed art catalogue covers with the deckle edge retained (most evident on the far right cover along the bottom).
Left over remnants of beautiful Italian printmaking paper, Fabriano Artistico 190gm HP in traditional off white; a scrap piece of lino and a bit of creativity. Lynne wasn't sure about keeping the deckled edge, but it adds a little something. As you can see from the date, Lynne's been using these for some time and found they generate a positive appreciative response from people. Quality can be achieved on a shoestring budget.
Deckle edge: the rough untrimmed edge of handmade and speciality papers. A deckle is a frame which holds pulp while it settles into paper as we recognise it. Where the pulp meets the frame, the edge occurs.
