After having a go at making pine cone ink, I saved all the waste material to create some paper/biomaterial forms (and threw in some additional studio remnants.) These were made from coffee filters, pine needle pulp, sawdust and coffee grinds. The vertical form has a canvas base that I smushed the paper/bio-pulp into. Both were then painted with natural pigments.
I’m really excited by these forms. I have some more bio-pulpy goodness steeping from oak gall ink-making and other experiments.
