shoddy paper

This morning I learned a new term - "shoddy fabric". 
In the photo is paper I made yesterday using recycle materials...including some cotton and rayon fabric remnants cut into tiny pieces and then blended in the blender to get fiber pulp. In the bowl is the wet pulp mix (looks like "shoddy fabric"), top left is the wet paper, and bottom left is the dry paper - dried quickly with an iron because I needed to see if it would dry as paper before making 60 sheets.
