We make paper out of any vegetable, fruit, flowers and herbs. There is an array of other neet things we make with the vegetable paper as well. From wallpaper, Japanese Soshi screens to specimen books of different mixes of fruit and veggie handmade papyrus paper. We are stating a website so anyone interested can order their favorites. For any information email me at spencemaray@yahoo.com, until the website is up. Hi all, I work with a paper and book artist in Philadelphia.

This gives me a great idea of how to photo mine that are not framed. For those who were wondering this is how you do it. To make vegetable paper you first cut it into very very thin slices as thin as you can. Then for best results blanch the slices for just about 30 seconds. Arrange them as you like then press them between cotton sheets changing them often so that it never stays wet. If it does it can mold very easily. Keep dong this for about 3-4 days until the cloth no longer feels cool or wet. You have Veggie paper! I love the photos! This gives me a great idea of how to photo mine that are not framed.

That's what I'd think, anyway. Cut a carrot into thin slices, lay it out as shown, press and dry it as shown. That’s what I’d think, anyway.
