Can computer paper be used as a mulch barrier?

May 02, 2008 by Michelle J | Posted in Garden & Landscape

I've review about using layers of newspaper and cardboard, but I was wondering how many sheets of computer paper can be hand-me-down if I don't have newspaper and cardboard. We have a ton of paper in our office to be recycled and I'd love to be adept to use it as a mulch barrier. I wasn't sure if computer paper work vocation as well as newspaper or cardboard.

computer paper has a lot more acid in it that newspaper or cardboard. That stiff acidity can damage and even kill plants.

Is it okay to use computer paper when drawing anime/manga?

Oct 30, 2008 by Vay | Posted in Drawing & Illustration

I always use computer paper when picture manga but I heard sketch book paper is better. I pattern to get some soon, but is computer paper okay to use for now? Will it affect the quality?

If you're only bored and that's all you have, go for it. But, if I were you, I wouldn't. Computer paper "feathers" when you ink it in and it gets exceedingly annoying. The quality of computer paper is really low and as an artist, I really don't enter it. If you can, invest in a Manga Paper pad. The paper is smoother, allows better ink excellence and is great for all the dry media. Copic markers are the best on Manga paper. ^^;

Can you make a pinata with computer paper?

Nov 28, 2009 by JustAGirl1243 | Posted in Hobbies & Crafts

Do I have to use newspaper to flourish a pinata? Or can I use regular white computer paper?

Also, my daughter's birthday is in 3 days, is this middling time to make one and have it dry in time? :( I slacked off this year on planning... ahh!

You can use any variety of "paper" you want... in fact, any solid that's porous enough to absorb and hold the gluey stuff while the form dries. You might need to soak or press thicker papers or smoother ones into the juice a minute longer or press a little harder when pulling off the superfluous liqiud though. Btw, paper towels work too and are quite absorbent, and those smutty "shop towels" on a roll record quite sturdy shapes with only a layer or two. (Be scrupulous though... I made one pinata when my son was little with 5-6 layers of newspaper --whole sheets in a cylinder move-- that was so strong even the moms had trouble breaking it!-- about I used wallpaper paste for that one; flour and water would to all intents have been weaker).

The pinata will dry more quickly if it's:
...thinner as opposed to thicker
...dried in a non-wet environment
...dried in an environment with moving air
...dried in a cosy environment

To speed up the drying, put the pinata in front of a fan where air can circulate liberally all around it, or at least in a warm, non-humid area. If it's small enough, you can even put it in an oven on lowest eagerness (door ajar if too big), or heat oven then put pinata incarcerated with closed door and leave overnight or for hours.

(3 days should be great deal but keep in mind any painting time and it's drying, or the gluing on of crepe paper loops, etc.)
