FACEBOOK | ETSY | TUMBLR | INSTAGRAM | WEBSITE & BLOG | COMMISSIONS INFOGoing to make a bunch of books to sell at the steampunk market/festival this summer. Have been binding them today and yesterday, it's quite relaxing and I like it after I have been messing around with messy materials ^^
Also aging some paper with tea and coffee, and drying them in the oven!
More to come!

I used to do that when I lived on a small island where there wasn't much

Yeeees. Hmm okay, maybe it also depends on what kind of pen one uses?

ballpens and graphite pencils do not feather. I think people used to rub paper with resin to reduce feathering when using a quill-pen. These days the paper is so good that you can just go ahead. Maybe the bathing removed some ingred. from my paper.

That is interesting, maybe that is true yes. Worth to think about ^^

Drying paper in the oven? I never thought of that!
Could you tell me much degrees you dry them on/by and for what time, if you don't mind me asking? c:

Yep! ^^
Here is a pretty nice guide: www.wikihow.com/Age-Paper-Usinβ¦
I let the papers soak in hot teawater and then I layed them on a baking tray, and I used a mix of water and lots of instant coffee that I brushed on the edges and splashed here and there to give them darker stains and edges, put the tray in the oven and let it dry , at about 100 degrees celcius, for a while. You have to keep an eye on the papers and take them out when they stark to dry and wrinkle, dont want any fires or something
Good luck!
