For this chapter we were asked to find as many grids as we could and it was surprising once I started looking around the house, just how many different gridded materials I owned.

I also found a 'variety' pack of metal mesh purchased at a show several years ago and never used. One piece of this proved to be perfect for use in the following chapter on paper-making. The others are too thin and pliable to be of immediate use though they may well come into their own at a later stage.
