More books to explore the sound qualities of sheets of paper in sequence - crinkle, rustle, whisper; there are undoubtedly other words. The last of that shopping bag has been used up - some of it was crumpled before being sewn. The tissue paper came pre-crumpled, and one of the tea-bag paper books has also had the crumple treatment.
While you have the materials in your hands, you start to do unexpected things. The little book at bottom left has had each page folded before stitching together, which makes interesting shadows. The tracing wheel was used on the tracing paper - instant, tactile "journey lines" - travellers' braille?
The sounds of turning the pages are much more subtle than of opening and closing the folded book I made yesterday.
Hi Margaret, watching Countryfile on Sunday we were introduced to 'quiet' paper used during recording radio. It's a whole new aspect to paper quality!

In Canada a potato chip company introduced a new bag that would decompose quickly. The only drawback they found is that it's too loud. People complain that it makes too much noise when you take chips out of it. Wish I could remember the name of the company.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could google noisy chip bag.
