I took a video of myself making paper the other afternoon!
I made about 25 good sheets of abaca paper: I overbeat the abaca for about 8 hours. The old beater in our studio doesn't really do more than saturate the pulp fibers because the blade height can't be adjusted, but the paper still ended up being delicate and translucent. We're getting a new beater at some point this spring. Look out, world!
