Growing Papermaking Fibers — Hollyhocks and Milkweeds
Early this spring, I started lots of seedlings in preparation for papermaking! I've experimented with a variety of plant fibers in the past; such as onion skins, blackberry bush, maple leaves, and grasses. But what I really love so far was hollyhocks and milkweeds.

I am very interested to see your work and processes. Thank you for sharing :) Have you ever tried potato grasses? I've been wondering if it is possible to make paper from them.
ReplyDeleteI've never made any potato grass paper, but I will give it a try when I can get my hands on them.
