This is a lovely colourful book on the making of silk paper. Kath Russon explains all the processes simply and with beautiful illustrations/photos. The paper can be made from many types of silk fibre and can be coloured to your own requirements. The book covers the basic techniques and continues by explaining further methods which can be used to make a smooth and heavier double-sided paper. To make your paper unique you can also add inclusions, such as petals and leaves etc. or use other fibres. The possibilities are endless.
