reflection on second batch of paper

I was a little bit disappointed with how this turned out; the pulp was too thick, the paper didnt blend properly and it really tested my patience, I tried for hours to pull the sheets that I did but got really disheartened by the end. However when I came back and saw them dry I was quite pleasantly surprised that I really liked the texture and everything going on with the pieces of natural material.

I Had a chat with Wendy and she told me that I needed to use sizing within the paper; I had not even heard of what paper sizing is but im going to buy some wheat starch or gelatine in order to make sure that the paper doesn't come out looking like a stale wholewheat wrap.
