handmade paper Explanation: The most common definition of papier à la cuve is the marbled paper that is used in bookbinding as end sheets - they are placed in a "cuve" with ink. Otherwise, most techniques for handmaking paper use a recipient where the material is in water or a water-based liquid. Moulded paper is, I believe, more specific. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2008-03-16 00:05:39 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_marbling |
