I had a rummage through my scrap paper basket today, looking for a nice rough paper texture to use for a piece of work and found more than I know what to do with!

So I thought I would share some of them: here are the 10 best ones. You can go here to download them – all of them or only one…

Oh! and they are tif files not jpg. … if this is a problem for anyone. drop a comment below and I’ll do some converting, but tif files should open in most programs… Alternatively, if you have a mac, GraphicConverter is quite good. GraphicConverter also makes great contact sheets (the program calls it a ‘catalog’) out of a folder of images – Like this one below (I added the numbers afterward)…

You can use this contact sheet to tell which file number has which texture…
