Paper<br />

Samples of paper that I have made from natural products and recycled paper which<br />

could then be used in interior for things such as, curtains, track blinds, lampshades<br />

screens etc. In most cases, because of the natural element of these papers, that being flax,<br />

grass, banana etc these papers are actually very strong.<br />

Method<br />

Boil Plant fibres<br />

Rinse, make sure fibre is ph neutral, using litmus paper<br />

Put through food processor paper pulper, (if using recycled paper add now)<br />

Put in vats of water<br />

Use a deckle<br />

Put between sheets of Vilene<br />

Put through press and squeeze all water<br />

Put on flat surface to dry<br />

Flax Paper<br />
