Review: I'm making flowers from silk cocoons and there remains tiny bits of trashes. I want to make silk papers from these cocoon trashes, searched the net and found this book. Wow, it's really interesting. This project widen the meaning of "paper." The method is like making felt with silk fiber.

I tried traditional way to make Japanese paper "Washi" with certain results. However Kath Russon's method is easier and more beautiful.

Also contains interesting projects such as making 3D objects and silk leaves. This method is applicable to other fibers such as cotton wool, jute and flax.
