HUMPBACK WHALE
Designed by Michael G. LaFossePaper Suggestions:

square, We make large sheets by
spraying paper pulp onto a cloth, Pulp
spraying is an unusual papermaking
technique, requiring special equipment
and studio facilities. Since this is more
difficult we also produce large sheets
by transferring smal er, couched sheets
of pulp from the papermaking screen
onto a large, wat felt. The individual
sheets will bond together when you
leave 1/2 t01 inch of averlap, and pound
‘che seams smooth wth a waaden mallet,
or Flatten them with a paint raler
