5 out of 5 starsOh this is such a perfect item. The bufana poem is wonderful and since I send the grandchildren candy from the Bufana, they were thrilled last year but this year I'll include the beautiful poem. Wonderful construction and just absolutely perfect. Thanks.

Agitating the paper pulp in preparation for pulling the sheet. -
Pulling a sheet of abaca using a large mould and deckle. -
Couching a sheet of paper. -
Using a compressor to spray cotton pulp onto abaca sheets. This is called pulp painting. -
A quieter and more precise method of pulp painting is by using a hand held pump sprayer.
Paper inspires me.
