1. Vary the thickness and direction of lines to create emphasis and movement
2. Repeat and combine different lines to create new symbols.
3. Combine line and shape to fill a background space.
4. Lines can be used to make shapes and type both geometric and organic.
5. Areas scratched out around and between shapes can be used to highlight positive and negative areas.
6 . A pattern is created when any mark or line is repeated. Patterns created from line and shapes can create the look of texture, such as scales on a reptile or pebbles on a pathway.

Making paper by hand is an age-old art and tradition of paper-making in India. Handmade papers are made from recycled cotton rags. Cotton rags are chopped and beaten down to pulp. The pulp is then mixed with water. This dilute suspension consisting of cellulose fibres is lifted on a sieve and the water is drained out. This process in paper making is called Pulp Lifting. It is during this process of pulp lifting that we are also able to add embellishments to the paper like flower petals, straw, jute fibres or real seeds!

The water is further removed from the sheets by pressing the sheets against each other and staking them. The sheets so formed are sun-dried and (cold pressed) to result in uniform and strong sheets of paper.

Processes like multi-colour silk screen printing by hand, flocking, deep embossing, hot stamp foiling and dew drops are carried out on handmade paper sheets resulting in exquisite designs and textures.

Kraft Dream Catchers are a fun, textile project starter suitable for all ages and abilities. A quick, and easy activity with eye-catching results, completed Kraft Dream Catchers can be added to classroom displays, or can be used as a decor ornament or gift.

The Dream Catchers come to us from the Chippewa people of southern Canada and believe that the night is filled with both good and bad dreams. When a dream catcher is hung above the place where a person sleeps, it moves freely in the night air and catches the dreams as they pass by. The good dreams know the way, and pass through the opening in the heart of the web (some stories say the dreams travel down the feather onto the person sleeping below) while the bad dreams, not knowing the way, get stuck in the web and are destroyed by the morning sun.

Use an assortment of yarns to thread around and across the Kraft Dream Catchers to create web-like effects. Thread beads onto the yarn to create further interest. The outer kraft card frame can be used plain, or can be coloured before use – try using slicks (paint sticks), pens and markers.

Kraft Dream Catchers Details:

• 800gsm kraft cardboard
• Pre-cut two-dimensional design
• Pack of 12 Dream Catchers
• Size: approximately 14.5cm to 17.5cm
