July 16-18, 2010
On July 16th, a friend and coworker brought me some iris leaves and bulbs from her place in Hallsville, Missouri. I started processing the fiber immediately as excitement took hold. In school, I'd seen a group make paper out of iris and it's surface texture was varied. I wasn't sure what to expect out of these leaves. They were very fresh and as a result had a high-volume compared to their weight so in the end, there wasn't a lot of pulp to work with. Even so, the results were beautiful.
