Plant and Paper Update

The results are in! After much experimentation, I was able to make the different types of paper pictured below. I'll be able to print on all of them with the exception of Japanese knotweed and the green garlic mustard. I also processed purple loosestrife and oriental bittersweet, but I could tell by the color of water during boiling that they'd be too dark, so I stopped there. I might make a few sheets this winter to see how they turn out, but right now I'm busy preparing for my exhibit at the Matthaei Botanical Gardens which opens September 17th. So back to work I go!
