Paper research

In my meeting with Debbie Wigglesworth.  I knew I wanted to test out more paper sample for my project. I needed to look into cloths that I wanted to bind my concertina with and I also was interested in finding out different paper I could use for the statues. 

I came up with the idea of using a green cloth to cover the front and back of the folded format. The cloth that Debbie found was from Fedrigoni Imitlin, called Verde Edera E/R05 Tela and it was 125gsm. I really like the texture of this cloth and will be emailing them about the possibility of getting samples. 

However, when looking at the Fedrigoni Imitlin website, I found a bright orange cloth which could also work in my project.  It's known as Arancio, E/R05 TELA and it's also 125gsm. I could use the orange as the front cover and the green as the back cover. I think if I did this I would like the orange to have a title on called "Turning Green" in a green ink. 

Debbie Wrigglesworth also found this paper sample which is Casino Gold from GF Smith. It is similar to the copper I was interested in, however, I don't think it would work with the green. I want the copper to be bright and to stand out. Whereas this is still quite muddy. 

I was also interested in marble samples for the background of the paper. However, I don't think any of these colour are suite and I prefer the recycled paper that I ordered instead.
