21 Free Bleached Paper Textures

I've been playing around with a lot of experimental texture making processes lately. One of those involves pouring, painting, and splatter bleach on pretty much every surface I can find to see how it interacts. I've bleached concrete, wood, paper, and other surfaces on the last few days, all with interesting results.

This is a set of bleached paper textures I've put together for you. I love the contrast of the textures, some of them remind me of old scratched up film negatives. They should prove very useful when using them in overlays in photoshop for anything from illustrations to photographs. Let me know what you guys think of them!
