I managed to collect as many different types of paper as I
could. I was lucky to have the
descriptive cover from the pads where I found some information about the weight
and texture. Therefore I could put that
on my blog underneath most of my images. I have never noticed such a thing like acid
free paper, well that have never caught my attention until this exercise.

The brown envelope looks so traditional and old fashion,
just like sending a letter. I love the look of it as it makes me feel like I
just turned back time, as though the letter has been sent by someone from
different era. The blue one could be
sent by someone who likes to dream and has a romantic soul.

The white little notebook could be perfect for some writer

lines is definitely more suitable for a writer that works at home and is not in
the rush.

part two - collecting the leaflets
All my leaflets come from the places that I have been to. These
small paper notebooks are great reminders of the time that I have spent with my
husband or my friends and family.
Most maps and tourist guides are printed on similar types of paper, usually foldable so you can read a lot of information but still keep it in a pocket
I'll always remember this newspaper, with my photo on the front page, publicising my first ever solo exhibition.
I always think its funny that you write a shopping list before you go shopping, then at the end you get the receipt. The receipt is always much longer than your original list, but there are always things you have missed.
Below are some more maps and tourist guides, but with slightly different paper shapes - I guess tourist places like to keep their booklets memorable by standing out.
