Honoring All Saints & All Souls - Todos Santos y Dia de los muertos- Cards to hang above the altar

PAPER PULP BEATER

PAPER CARDS DRYING

This year we are blessed with several ways to celebrate All Saints, Todos Santos and All Souls, Dia de los Muertos. Eric Avery has lovingly made homemade paper cards. He writes:

"I made the cards from 8 hour beaten cotton and abaca fibers. They are formed by dipping a mould and deckle into the paper pulp, then pressed and dried. The inclusions are small pieces of the All Souls' / Day of the Dead Christ Church memorial ribbons from 2029 which were added to the paper pulp after the beating.

As we white paper pulp was going down in the vat, I added a second pulp which had been beaten with pieces of cut up green linen tablecloth added to the cotton and the abaca in the beater. Some of the cards have small greenish fibers. A piece of the tablecloth was given to me by a papermaker friend who came to San Ygnacio to make paper from her Jewish grandmother's linens. Her family was from Vienna, had a liner shop, then fled Austria just as the Nazi's came to power. Julie Riechert lives in Albuquerque."
