Pamela– � I have permission from my papermaking group to post our stuff on Treewhispers–I sent you the link to our pictures.��Do you want me to compose something, or do you want to.� I found out the fibers the others used: � Kay Hilt, the brown paper: Exotic woods (Wenge etc.), finely planed shavings from her husband’s workshop.� There was not enough cellulose from just the wood for the fibers to stick together, so she added brown kraft paper. � Diane Flack: kozo and banana papers that she had. � Rachel Bancroft, the dark maroon: brown packaging paper, construction paper, colored paper streamers and white copy paper (she hme schools her two children, so she had stuff from their craft and art projects–the color was a complete surprise. � Marianne Nelson: white calligraphy quality paper, some from practice, some scraps from cutting sheets to size. � We used pulp from each other, making blends of the above.
