I added the black tissue paper to enhance the centre of the piece. I like the way the colours blend together. The paper pulp was made from computer paper, then sprinkled with Brusho yellow. I was surprised how fragile it was compared to the tissue paper pulp which proved to be much easier to work with and was more robust.
