Book Description
From palm leaves to garlic skin, a visually tantalizing catalog of fifty recipes for crafting paper from plants. Offering concise, step-by-step instructions and simple techniques, Marie-Jeanne Lorenté mines an array of both common and exotic vegetables, trees, and plants-including lavender, pistachio leaves, and pumpkin skin-to reveal their exquisite utility in creating fine paper for a range of artistic uses. The works of nine paper artists are included as inspiration. Color illustrations throughout.
