Student Narrative

Rainbow Book is the result of hours of papermaking. The fibers of each sheet were cooked, cleaned, beaten, dyed, and pulled by me. I dyed three different clumps of fiber the primary colors, and then mixed them as I formed the sheets, resulting in every sheet being a different shade.
