Papermaking with Garden Plants & Common Weeds (ISBN 1580176224)

The children's book that isn't:
This book was listed under children's books, albeit via an Amazon link. We bought it as a gift for a 10-year old. A children's book it isn't; it is designed for a serious adult hobbiest. Since we bought it with several other items using SuperSaver, returning it would mean paying shipping, etc. It's just lying on the sofa; we will give it away or throw it away.

Papermaking with Garden Plants & Common Weeds:
This is one of several books I have by this author. In fact, I've ordered pulp from her through a mutual contact. Helen is extremely knowledgable in the art of hand papermaking. She knows her stuff and knows how to put it down on "paper" with explicit and easy to follow instructions. Highly recommend for anyone interested in hand made paper from fiber.

Makin' Paper:
Great service. Got the book FAST! Have not made paper since I got it but it explains the process extremely well.

Interesting papermaking book:
I like this book, but I do wish that it had a few more recipes in it. It's interesting to see what kinds of basic everyday plants can be used in making paper.

Informative Book on Different Techniques:
This book explains in detail a nice history of papermaking and the focus of the book is pimarily plant fiber techniques, which is very educational. But it also describes various art techniques, such as how to do a collage with handmade paper, and using various vegetable fibers, such as carrots for making paper. If you want to learn alot about papermaking and really get into mixing plant fiber and use dyes and different recipes , then you will like this book.
