Step 4 Prepare your mold and deckle and pour

Take your mold and deckle and place them one on top of the other as seen in photo. The deckle is on top and it's function is to form the shape of the paper. Clip mold and deckle together. At first we used 4 clips but since it didn't really fit into our pan I removed two of the clips. Two clips seemed to work just fine.
Take your tray and fill it about half way with water.
We've demonstrated two deckles one using pantyhose and the second using screen window fabric cut from an old screen.
Depending on what effect you're looking for, you can either pour your seeds into the paper slurry or wait and place the seeds on top of the paper.
Pour or spoon your slurry of paper scraps on to the deckle and partially submerge the deckle and mold in water to spread your paper evenly across the deckle. You want it to appear approx. 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Once pressed, it will be thinner. However, you don't want it to be too thin or it will tear easily when wet.
If you've mixed seeds into the slurry then you're done with this step, otherwise now would be a good time to sprinkle seeds of your choice on to the top of the paper.
