A year ago, we began saving our onion skins in a glass jar with the intention of making paper from them one day. It was much delayed, but once we were unable to fit any more onion skins into the jar, the decision was made to make paper from them. It had been about a year since I had last made paper, and my ambition for doing so had admittedly taken a hit. Setting a goal to make paper out of this collection of onion skin turned out to be a great re-motivator, as making this batch of paper has reinvigorated my love of papermaking.
