This paper is handcrafted with grass from various places. The paper consists of only grass, and thus has not been treated with adhesives or chemicals. This makes for an entirely biodegradable material. The paper has been cut up into strips by hand. By weaving it with cotton and/or hemp, the paper strips are compact and therefore gain strength. Depending on the used pattern, the samples can have a lot of volume.

Since the paper is not treated with any chemicals, it will discolour over time when exposed to UV. But, the strength will remain the same. The material will remain in best quality when stored dry and unexposed to high temperatures or friction.
