PaperMaking from Plants:

Sunflower Paper

Tough stuff. I used overwintered sunflower stalks preprocessed with my handy dandy chipper, soaked them for a long time, and cooked them in lye.

Lye made it blenderable, though it is a pulp that benefits from beating. My sunflowers were mainly "Russian Mammoth".
