For using hand-made paper as a casting material for my sculptures I am for ever searching for new colours and textures from what grows around my studio. The Royal Palm grows in profusion, as can be seen in the above photograph of my driveway. But it's fronds have a prickly sharp center and are difficult to convert into paper.
However, the results are worth the effort, especially as the colour comes close to some of the purple skin tones that I'm after.
