homemade purple paper

I've been trying to make a lot of paper this summer. This latest batch of many shades of violet started out like this.

It's a mixture of red, white, blue and magenta tissue paper and white copy paper. 

Here's what it looks like mashed up in my mom's old blender. 

This is a sheet laid out to dry. This batch has more of the red and violet colored paper in it. 












The batch this sheet came from was made the next day when I added used white copy paper to the leftover violet water, so it's got the barest tint of color to it.
