aromas on the papers

Trying to give the papers aromas has been an interesting challenge. The papers were supposed to have different smells and colors. The idea was that when people took the papers out of the envelopes, they'd see and smell those stimuli, and those stimuli could be integrated into what they wrote before they affixed those papers to the onion.

Some aromas remain longer than others. The banana chips didn't really retain their aromas for that long, and the chips contain an oil which stain the papers from the back side. Some aromas -- such as vanilla and anise -- were put on the papers when I dripped drops of extracts on the pages; however, other aromas -- such as banana, dill, and tarragon -- were made when I glued objects (such as a banana chip or a raisin, dried oregano or tarragon flakes, and pieces of clove) onto the backs of the papers.

Here are some aromas I used: anise, banana, black pepper, clove, cocoa, garlic, onion, oregano, paprika, peppermint, pineapple, raisin, spearmint, sunflower seed, tarragon, and vanilla.
