VEGGIEPAPERS
VeggiePapers are papers made of 100% of fruits and vegetables. Technically, they are not papers but papyrus, since they are not made from pulp but from sliced plant parts. In the production process is no glue added to adhere the slices. By the drying process the individual slices adhere safely to each other. Since the papers are all natural, colors can change. Some fade over time, others change into a different color.
The production of fruit and vegetable papers is custom done. Finish size is roughly 8 1/2 x 6 inches. More than 60 different fruits and vegetables have been used for papyri; numerous individual designs have been made through combining different fruits and vegetables.
Selected fruit- and veggiepapers are suited to become fused into glass or acrylics for table tops, lampshades, room divider, etc.
