HAND MADE PAPER

The paper that we know today was invented by Ts'ai Lun in
A.D. 105.

It is believed that he mixed hemp, mulberry bark, and rags with water, mashed it into a pulp, pressed out the liquid and hung it to dry in the sun.

Paper was born and this humble mixture would set off one of mankind's greatest communication revolutions.
