Tools for making combed, waved, and striped paste paper.

Production paste paper artist Claire Maziarczyk had a substantial line of patterns that she was able to duplicate. This was made possible by the jigs and tools she made. From top to bottom: a stripe-making comb made from five hair picks mounted to a shelf bracket with foam handles; two wave-making jigs used as guides for patterns like the one shown in the New York Central Art Supply Company sample; and a hose washer roller, used to make stripes.
