Unearthed from New England barns and antique broken books, these delicate fragments of real midcentury art history books are lovingly recycled into texture-rich bits for your creative soulwork.
Shredded into dreamy confetti in our Texture Apothecary studio, each bundle contains thousands of paper flecks.
Papermaking: Add to your pulp blend for authentic texture and romantic specks of vintage script.
Art Batts: Blend into fiber layers to add organic contrast, surprise, and subtle structure.
Weaving & Felting: Trap fragments under tulle for ghostly textile effects.
Mixed Media & Journals: Collage, stitch, or glue into spreads, tags, or shadow boxes.
Directions for making mixed media art batts:
- Card a batt on your drum carder and remove from carder.
- Unroll batt and lay flat on a clean surface.
- Spray top side of batt lightly with hairspray batt adhesive.
- Sprinkle mixed media onto batt. Use as much or little as you prefer. Based on my aesthetic preferences, 1 oz will embellish 3-6 batts.
- Wait for adhesive to dry (about 45 seconds).
- Fold batt in half lengthwise to encapsulate the mixed media within the fiber, and corespin or coreless corespun to enclose the media within the fiber.
- Collect mixed media that falls out when spinning and reattach to yarn by spraying yarn with adhesive and sprinkling mixed media onto sprayed areas.
- Ply with thread to soft set, if desired.
- Do not soak.
Mixed media yarns are intended to be used for non-wearables. I enjoy carding these textures into art batts and spinning them into mixed media yarns, but they're also fun for paper making and decoupage!
