I got here from Michigan Rocks. Very interesting project. I haven't made paper in years... way too many years. I was never fussy about it, some of mine were chunky, but with the mica that would be great for the cover of an art journal!
Welcome to the channel, paper making is alot of fun and I totally agree about the book cover. It would also make a nice paper to paint watercolour on. Thanks for watching
Rock paper? Thats flippin awesome! The glitter from that mica is gorgeous! Bummed the flute didnt work but that will be an awesome project to revisit! Im sorry about the technical issues my friend but it was worth the wait! That paper is too cool!
I've been waiting for a year to make the rock paper specifically for the makers challenge.. I plan on making another version of the paper showing the different uses. As for the flute idea I will redesign it and hope it works. Thanks for letting me take part in the is awesome collaboration with some of my favorite channels.
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: wow!!! Fantastic idea! I've collected mica from all over North America...problem was...I only enjoyed it's aesthetic beauty as it degraded in my yard. What to do with it ....to express the stones personality ....so myself and others could experience it's qualities in other ways. You did it son! I would love to have paper like that for use in my homemade journals, bookmarks and scrapbooking. Also for your consideration...You could embed different colors of fibers/flower petals/mica paper in resin and make special paper ( triplet like) cabochons. If you ever make any I get first dibs...and I'm partial to rose petals in mica paper...hint...hint!!! ☺️
This is so great. The papermaking is such an unexpected and cool application of the 'use of rocks' with the mica. It turns out so pretty. I'm sure the other project is going to be great in a future video as well! There's always the next Maker's! Thanks for sharing, Kurt, Cheers!
Thanks Karen, Kyle already gave me idea for next year you know? Lol 😂 Anyways have you ever painted using watercolour? I bet making this mica paper as the pad/canvas would turn out beautiful with those mica flakes..
I love the idea of that stone flute - and the mica paper is THE BOMB! Nice job, Kurt - I know how stressful it can be to have things not go as planned. :)
Thanks Katy, I'll have another go at the flute later.may change the design. Been waiting for this challenge to do the paper idea..lol. when things don't go as plan yes it can be very frustrating. Thanks for watching
I love both your ideas. I'm not surprised that the stone flute didn't work. It takes precision to make a flute but the paper was gorgeous! All that gorgeous mica in there was phenomenal! Just lovely! That was a cool idea and I'm seriously not surprised that you could pull it off last minute like that! You have so many creative ideas in your mind. Thank you for this year's entry. It was really cool! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Lisa, well I got the idea to make the flute cause I saw a video of someone that made a flute from a russet potato and thought.... I have a agate about the same shape as that potato 😂😂😂. Then came up with the mica paper on my own. First time I tried it was like a year ago so the other day I knew it would make a good plan B. Thanks for the kind comment. Thanks for watching..
Ok...now this is just rad as heck! I absolutely love this idea! And to pull this off as a backup in a day... Major props! Give yourself a pat on the back. This turned out phenomenal✨ MC4 Cheers!
Really cool project Kurt, the paper is beautiful!✨️ Such a creative project and to get it started and finished with not much time is impressive also. Thanks for sharing!✌️🤠🤘
Sparkly!!! I absolutely love the paper. I would neve hav thought of adding mica. Great job. On the first one you have the makings for another go. Love the channel. Keep the goodness coming and thank you for sharing. 😷⚒
Thanks bro, I'm going to see what other minerals I can use to make paper. I already have another design at works for the flute idea. Thanks for watching as always. Safe Travels man.
Both ideas are fantastic! I've a been thinking of making paper but wasn't sure where to start. You have given me the information I needed and a guide to make beautiful paper. I love the sparkle! GREAT JOB!!!
Very frustrating to have to wait until the end of a project before knowing if it worked. Nice backup plan, though! Definitely something a hadn't seen before.
Great video! I have been waiting for you to make something out of that marble ! lol maybe you can still use it as an aquarium bubbler feature thingy? LOVE the mica paper! so very sparkly and such a surprise ending . Thanks for sharing!
I really enjoyed your video! Both of your ideas are really cool. I've been subscribed since you first started rock hounding and enjoy watching your progress!
I love how everyone supports each other. We all make oops that didn't go as planned items... I like the mica paper.. it's a bit thick and I'd use more paper pulp also when it completely dries use other paper in the center for pages and 2 outer as covers .. great little sketch book for someone..
* Actually, the shape & size would make a Great Ocarina to Play Music on.. LOL Too bad it didn't work.. ~ You could have used a Jar or straight sided glass to roll the water out. ~ The Mica- paper would be a great Journal Cover..
Ok someone needs to make a bong / pipe already!
That’s pretty cool! I’ve never seen anything like that so it was fun seeing the process, good job!
Thank you Taylor.
Very beautiful and creative🌻
I can see this hitting the runways in Paris next fashion show, make a killer book to ! nice job keeping it fun and simple !
Thanks bro, that would be funny if so.
That paper turned out great! What a neat idea. Your first project was awesome as well. I can't wait to see you take another crack at it!
Thanks Jason, I already have a couple new design to make it work next time.

Would be great for a project teaching kiddos to do. Mother's day is right around the corner too.
Would be lovely to send a note to that special person to keep and hand down. Well done I will have a go thank you 🦋🇦🇺🦋
Ok...now this is just rad as heck! I absolutely love this idea! And to pull this off as a backup in a day... Major props! Give yourself a pat on the back. This turned out phenomenal✨
MC4 Cheers!
Thanks Marlaina, been saving both those ideas for the makers. I may make shorts video more on the paper.
Very cool. I don’t know why the ocarina didn’t work….it looked neat. I’m glad spring is here and I look forward to your explorations!
Thanks, and I think there was one to many holes in the flute.
Fun, sparkly paper!
Thanks Rob
Really cool project Kurt, the paper is beautiful!✨️ Such a creative project and to get it started and finished with not much time is impressive also. Thanks for sharing!✌️🤠🤘
Thanks Kyla, it was fun to make and a good plan b lol
What a great product!!! So cool. Thank you for taking us along in the process!!!
Thank you for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed it 😁
Excellent paper beautiful work. The Ocarina will be great too... Next time 🎉
Thanks for watching
Well for heaven's sake, that was absolutely interesting to watch as I have never seen anyone make paper before. What a great job you did! 💜💜
Thank you for watching
Hey that looks beautiful. Nice job for the Maker's Challenge. Thanks
Thanks

Very pretty. ("Was that my GOOD iron that you used"--said every mom)
Both ideas are fantastic! I've a been thinking of making paper but wasn't sure where to start. You have given me the information I needed and a guide to make beautiful paper.
I love the sparkle!
GREAT JOB!!!
Oh cool, it's alot of fun. You should definitely give it a try.
good idea. 😊👍👍👍
Thanks man
That turned out awesome! My daughter makes her own paper, so I will definitely show her this! Thanks for sharing!
Oh cool, I hope she can use the idea. Bet it would look good with other color paper too. Thanks for watching
Very cool!
Very frustrating to have to wait until the end of a project before knowing if it worked. Nice backup plan, though! Definitely something a hadn't seen before.
Yes it definitely can be frustrating but it's all part of the learning process. 😆 I'm going to see what other rocks I can use to make paper.
Ooo sparkly
Agreed 😆
fantastisk!!!
Great video! I have been waiting for you to make something out of that marble ! lol maybe you can still use it as an aquarium bubbler feature thingy? LOVE the mica paper! so very sparkly and such a surprise ending . Thanks for sharing!
Lol Karen, you and me both have been waiting😂. That's a neat idea to use with it.. i was thinking maybe even a strange looking night light.
That paper turned out very cool! Bummer about the flute though eh. Good job! 🤘
Thanks, the flute will be remade in a future video so it's all good. Thanks for watching
I really enjoyed your video!
Both of your ideas are really cool. I've been subscribed since you first started rock hounding and enjoy watching your progress!
Very nice stone friend
Thank you!
Beautiful paper!! I live in Clifton... May I come rock hound at your house? 😂 Nice rocks in your yard.
So cool! Looks fabulous.
Way to keep with it! Dude your special effects were dead on! Fantastic job!
Lol thanks.
I really like the glitter effect. :)
Very creative idea love it too bad the stone didn’t work but interesting to see it built ❤
I'll be remaking it in the near future, and hopefully it will work lol. Thanks for watching
Beautiful! I think you should get some stencils to cut letters out of it and frame the letters of a loved one's name or title, like Mom.
Cool projects Kurt, to bad the flute didn’t work, can’t wait to hear it. The mica hand made paper was really neat😊❤️
I'll try again this summer. Glad you like the paper. Thanks for wwatching
I love how everyone supports each other.
We all make oops that didn't go as planned items...
I like the mica paper.. it's a bit thick and I'd use more paper pulp also when it completely dries use other paper in the center for pages and 2 outer as covers .. great little sketch book for someone..
nice! I might have to make a canvas like this
Oh you definitely should. I bet it would turn out beaut after painting on it.
The flute was a cool idea, too bad that it didn't work out. The paper turned out very nice tho
cool!
Thanks for watching
What a great challenge project! Too stunning for words. But I would like to know if you have tried writing on the paper?
Yes, you can weight on it just fine. I may use less mica in the future. Using a black ink pen or sharpie works good. Thanks for watching😀
Too bad the first one didn't work but the second one looked really cool! Well done!
Thanks Kyle, and thanks for the idea for next year 😆
* Actually, the shape & size would make a Great Ocarina to Play Music on.. LOL Too bad it didn't work.. ~ You could have used a Jar or straight sided glass to roll the water out. ~ The Mica- paper would be a great Journal Cover..
cool plan B! how well would a ballpoint work on that?
I like the flute idea. Too bad it didn't come out
