Papermaking with Garden Plants & Common Weeds

She knows her stuff and knows how to put it down on "paper" with explicit and easy to follow instructions. Highly recommend for anyone interested in hand made paper from fiber.

It comes in strong as my second (if not tied for first) favorite papermaking book in my library. The images and guidelines are clear, thorough and appropriate for each step.

Arnold Grummer

Krause Publications, 1999

The Complete Guide is the BEST guide to papermaking!
There's an old adage that says, "Never judge a book by its cover." That was certainly true for me when I first looked at Arnold Grummer's Complete Guide To Paper Casting. My initial reaction to the cover (& many of the 'projects' was--How 70s can you get? Fortunately, I followed the adage's advice and read a few chapters. Result? I found a valuable addition to my how-to library. The authors ...

Reading Jim Rumford's "The Cloud Makers" in Russia
My mother shipped this book to me when I was living in Russia this past Christmas. I sat down one evening with a 9 year old Russian boy and his father who were ignoring a party going on around them to read and translate this story into Russian.
