PaperMaking from Plants:
Gampi Paper

I soaked the gampi for a couple of day in a bucket. It had a very strong fragrance. It reminded me of kozo, but less delicate.



I cooked it in soda ash for 2 hours and processed by beating it for about an hour with a newly acquired wooden paddle. This didn't seem quite enough so I still blenedered it for veryshort bursts.
