First we wrote/drew on Lokta paper for the Shifu.
.Then we drew maps on the Lokta.
Next we used the Arches text wove paper and stitched silk or organza on it and scribbled with a graphite pencil. It was then folded with various leaves, flowers etc and secured with string and large paper clips before putting them into the dye pot. Here they are being fished out.
Next we unfolded them carefully as paper is liable to tear.
Next the various papers, silk and dyed fabric were made into registers -
to be sewn together to make a book.
