paper made on the papermaking workshop

These are the papers that were made on Saturday's papermaking workshop. The ones above were made from waste paper: envelopes, old posters, telephone directories, taxman envelopes (!), and a few additives like tea leaves and flower petals.

These papers below are the plant papers.  First a layer of abaca (a kind of hemp) was made and the plant pulp sheets were formed on top.  The plant pulps were leek, grass, rhubarb, apple and banana skins.
