Making paper from paper and......

As a little side project I started making paper from old paper,a step further in recycling.I found a great tutorial  on the Flickr site,but knew the basic steps already.Tear up paper,put in foodprocessor or blender,put pulp in a tray,get a screen,dip screen at angle in tray,remove excess water with sponge,turn over on a towel,fold towel over paper and press,then let it dry.......
I also used sawdust and used coffee filter bags.
Quite a fun thing to do,especially when using the dreaded blue tax envelopes....
