I found an old box of typewriter paper with the word COPY printed diagonally across it. I am inordinately fond of vintage paper and this paper is 8 lb. paper weight (lighter than onionskin) and takes dip pen like a dream. We work with lasers so I've cut the paper creating triangles which I will write on.... but is there any use for those diagonal pieces of paper with the word COPY printed on them??

I'm racking my brain for a use, but I have no projects where it makes sense. Cool find though!!

Paper patch wadding for black powder enthusiasts?

Since it's COPY paper would it be used for a repeating rifle?

I can think of many uses for the "COPY" which all involve art work. Could also be good for appropriated art work.

I would totally put one in each letter I wrote.

Like the artwork.

You could use the Copy strips as bookmarks.

Jill, your art is beautiful but I was thinking more along these lines -

Sure, why not?

That "P" is a few strokes of red ink from becoming a "B" or an "R." Then you're selling personalized bookmarks to those named Coby or Cory. Or draw a "G" in front, turn the "C" into an "O," and you have "Goopy." A different starting letter gives you "Poopy," "Loopy," etc.

TLDR? It seems like excellent scrap paper for doodles.
