From the publisher

Craft your own colorful paper goods and personalized stationary. With clear, step-by-step instructions, Helen Heibert covers all aspects of the papermaking process -- from growing and harvesting plants for a malleable paper pulp to embellishment techniques like dyeing, embossing, and laminating. With tips on building your own papermaking equipment, ideas for transforming junk mail into dazzlingly unique notecards, and much more, you'll be inspired to let your creativity shine as you explore the endless possibilities of handcrafted papers.

First line

The basic papermaking process involves dipping a screen stretched across a frame (the mould and deckle) into a vat of pulp, lifting the screen out of the vat, and shaking it back and forth - and side to side - so that the fibers interlock and bond on top of the screen surface as the water drains through the screen.
