Papermaking with Garden Plants and Common Weeds

Description

Make exquisite papers right in your own kitchen. With a few pieces of basic equipment and a small harvest of backyard weeds, you can easily create stunningly original handcrafted papers. Helen Heibert's illustrated step-by-step instructions show you how easy it is to blend and shape a variety of organic fibres into professional stationery, specialty books, and personalised gifts. You'll soon be creatively integrating plant stalks, bark, flower petals, pine needles, and more to add unique colours and textures to your paper creations.
