Synopsis

The ancient art of papermaking began in China in 105 AD. This book explains how one can carry on the tradition of creating not just paper but unique sculptural objects of great beauty by employing basic techniques and using materials and equipment that are, for the most part, readily available around the house. Paper pulp can be made from plants, fruits, or vegetables. Textural qualities of the pulp can be enhanced by everything from flowers to feathers. This complete guide to papermaking techniques also illustrates how to create special effects such as embossing, embedding and laminating. Whether making one-of-kind greeting cards, lampshades, wall hangings, sculptures or books, experimentation and your imagination are the keys.
