300 Paper Making Recipes • 4/7/06
I found out about this book containing 300 Papermaking Recipes through a search on making homemade paper. Needless to say, it immediately went on my wishlist of paper related books to look into in the future.
Written by two papermaking artists, Mary Reimer and Heidi Reimer-Epp, the 96 page book details how to make paper using alternative methods to the usual cotton pulp ‘n dye way. Some of the materials they talk about using are fruit, vegetable and plant fibers, paper bags, flowers, raffia, denim, thread, and raffia.
The book was published awhile ago (2000) by Martingale and Company but still seems to have some rather nice photos and clear descriptions of the different recipes for paper. I believe that some people have said that the book is meant as a guide for more novice paper makers with no prior experience, which suits my skill level fine. Though, I think it might not be as useful for intermediate level or professional paper crafters.
