Dandelion Paper

It is April and Dandelions are starting to bloom in the Fraser Valley. Harvesting and crushing into "paper", for it is a rough and in-precise science I am conducting these days. I have started making this paper from plants, flowers and foliage that catch my attention and are very seasonal in their short existence. Below are papers made out of Rhubarb flowers and Cottonwood buds which have the most beautiful fragrance but make a sticky mess that still needs a lot of experimentation.
