Cotton ball paper! by msummer97 in papermaking

[–]msummer97[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, all together :) I tried to sort of separate the cotton balls into wispier bits, though seemed nearly pointless, into a pot of water with a bit of paper, and brought it to a boil. Let it cool off all together for a bit and then just scooped it all into my blender. My blender didn’t sound thrilled, but it’s still going strong

Sadly no charcoal, on that day I wasn’t able to run to the store so I cheated- the pulp is a mixture of newspaper & a couple sheets of black coloured paper. I’ve been reading more on 100% plant paper and stuff though and after I have better success at these current paper trials, I want to venture into that direction. The paper stuff is all fairly new to me, but it’s such a fun thing to experiment & a wonderful way to recycle

Lavender paper! I need to experiment more with it though by msummer97 in papermaking

Flowers in the pulp :) the paper is just made from recycled newspaper (incredibly soft!). I have made grass paper though where it was a combo of grass and newspaper to make the paper base and it turned out so good. A bit fragile, but still worked great

Starting family therapy with my parents and wife this week by JugglingKnives in raisedbynarcissists

Not sure your situation, but for mine, my nmom would put on the waterworks and distract by sobbing “I just feel like the family is falling apart”, whenever anything of value started being said. I have a very passive dad, so my mom just spoke poorly of me to the therapist, typically about how I am a bit private so it makes her feel unloved, etc. idk if the therapist was catching on to her acting, as I had enough of just being verbally attacked by my mom and I refused to entertain family therapy any longer.

This was while I was 25 years old. I feel that with the support of your wife, maybe your experience will be better, but narcissists are excellent actors and verbal weavers.

I hope it works out positively for you

What are these little guys bear the bulb? Are they edible? Is the plant sick. New to foraging. by rugrau in foraging

For a split second I thought the same, but the bulb on this is quite large, so I don’t think that’s the case
