Attempting to make Washi paper

Sheets of washi paper speckled with coloured kozo

This by all means was an attempt to make a sheet of washi paper using kozo that was too old to be used, and on an apparatus that was makeshift. The solution itself didnot have an pleasant smell, yet I make every effort to pat the kozo onto a mesh screen without feeling nauseous.

There is an example of paper which due to the weather look a long time to dry if at all. It is a clear example that don’t expect the best when you build upon the worst
