Handmade paper makes it beautiful




One of my favorite types of custom bordering is using handmade mulberry paper. I use this paper in many of my custom designs. Blue is used as water, white for clouds, maroon and pinks get put in sunsets. (I'd paint, but then again, I can't paint worth a darn, so I use paper instead) But it is also used as a simple border. It can be torn dry, which tends to give an uneven border. If you wet it ( I find a Q--tip works great for this) it feathers in a beautiful way. These are just some samples at how versatile it is.
