Checking in on the marigold paste papers I made yesterday. They’ve dried with a beautiful yellow, like best butter. I also tried just saturating some pages with the marigold & water without paste and it’s made some really vibrant shades in the areas where it was thickest. I’m going to give them a second coat to try to get a deep shade all over.

Much more concentrated colour than boiling. Marigold so far has deepened as it’s dried so I can’t wait to see what colour this will turn out. I was going to do a pattern but I like the brush marks #Bookbinding #pastePapers #Endpapers #NaturalInk

A work in progress. A6 non lined journal, card spine with paste paper cover.
