That would be interesting if that happened. Though some pressed leaves from years ago are still green. It may be that an active biological process removes the chlorophyll. In that case it'll stay a representation of the past for years to come.

Highly doubt this is the future, the paper industry already is the biggest tree replanter, they plant more trees than they cut down and they're also able to recycle. Another thing to mention is that you won't be able to produce every kind of paper there is, the fibres find in plants and trees are all completely different, especially if we look at it under a microscope, some are long, some are shorter but wider, some have holes in them, ect ect ect. I work at a paperplant and we only use 100% recycled paper, so if you have any questions let me know. :)

@@chaotickreg7024 in the pulp mill I worked at, the fiber sizes were all consistent and I worked in the testing department. So we didn't want to cut them because that would mess up the result. They may be cut or milled down in the process before it would get to me, idk. But I don't think it's that bad to use a blender if you're doing it for yourself at home. You can also carefully control fiber length by cutting them by hand. Ideas to play with.

@@scottm2553 Hey, worker at a paperfactory here. :) We produce all sorts of paper (magazine paper, filler paper and even cardboard) and make our own Pulp out of recycled paper. Depending on what we're supposed to produce we use refiners that also cut open the fibres, generally the main goal of this is just to open the fibres up but some are shorten as a result ofc. Generally you can expect some of the fibres to be cut if you also have to use deflaker.

I've known that young grass is an excellent fibre source for a while, but it is refreshing to see such an accessable use in paper making. Time to make some books, bwahahaha! I'm curious about what further home processing you could do to bring out greater whiteness and consistency. Obviously in this case the natural color is a plus for the art value.

I have been thinking hard about how to use the paper in other unique applications. Papier-mâché or books did come to mind!

@@corymart I did some research on removing grass stains from cotton, which should help you bleach the pulp without damaging the fibers. Acids like vinegar or citric acid seem to help. Citric acid can be purchased as dry crystals that can be dissolved in water and can help you achieve a higher concentration than just liquid vinegar. Also enzymes found in laundry detergents are suggested. Since grass stains are a protein stain, the protease enzyme Bromelain found in pineapples would be effective. I'm interested in seeing how effective pineapple juice would be. And lastly, non-chlorine bleach, aka hydrogen peroxide seems to be recommended as well. You can purchase it as a laundry additive in liquid form, though there are powdered forms found in laundry detergents in the form of sodium percarbonate. I hope this ends up being helpful for you!

Person that works in a western paper factory that creates its own pulp here, we don't finely chop up the fibres, only if we need to create paper with specific capabilities. In the company I work in we use recycled paper, so we first turn the paper into pulp and then start sorting the trash out of it (plastic, foils, pebbles ect.). We then bleach it to make sure we got all of the printer colour out of it. However what happens after that is that we sort the fibres themselves, theres long and short fibres which are held seperately. When we put the pulpmixture onto our sieves we, depending on what our buyer wants, we then use 60% long fibres, 30% short fibres and 10% of reused paper from our production. Hope this was informing. :)

TL;DR at the bottom :) We used to make paper from every kind of veggies leftover in our school in Thailand. Lotus flowers, watermelon peel(white part), Bougainvillea flowers, grass, basically everything we have around the school and in the kitchen. We use our paper to print, paint and make souvenirs like notebooks and keychain for visitors! Making paper is like growing plants. The main requirement are the same. But the difference is where you plant it and with what method. The requirements as I could compare from mine and yours would be - binder, fiber, reservable and easily obtained. Okra is the binder, grass is the fiber and is easy to find, washing soda, heating and even how you dry your paper is a part of making the paper reservable. Our method is almost identical. We don’t use okra here at my school. We bind them by fermenting some specific part of plants instead. Like some type of flowers, the white part of watermelon skin and melon, the white soft tissue under the durian skins, onion skins or even any kind of greens which were cut off from the kitchen could be the binder if they’re fermented long enough. Fermenting could also help with the reservation! Fermenting binder could take anywhere from 14-30 days and could be kept longer than that. For texture, we ferment it for at least 3-7 days depend on the type of plants. We use basically every plants that we could put in the blending machine and doesn’t break it. Flower petals, carrot peels, salad, grass, Cabbages, everything. Binder and texture could even made out from the same part of the plant but just take different amount of time on fermenting. For step by step method, - we gather ingredients - we select/divide parts - we dice the part into smaller pieces to get ready to blend it. The smaller the better. Again, the smaller the better. - blend the plants part “with water” or the blending machine will have smokes(5 were broken from not enough water and “too big chunks”. Once again, the smaller the better) - heat it. Add a about 1/2 a part of water to the heating pot(so 2 part blended fiber and 1 part water) We use rice cooker here in Thailand. But you could heat it until you “almost” couldn’t stick your finger in. So I guess around 80 degree° C? But you know, we’re just high school students, there’re not much science behind that. Just heat it until you see the first bubble and then turn the heat off(hot enough that you can touch the surface, but you cannot touch the bottom of the pot) - add about 2 part of water to cool it down, wait 10-15 minutes before pouring in containers. We use 1.5 liter plastic bottles for many good reason. One of them is “easy to obtain”. Fill it only up to 3/4 of the container, leave room for gas to form - ferment it 3-14 days for texture, 14-30 days for binder. Open swiftly every 1-3 days to let the gas out. ESPECIALLY THE FIRST WEEK! It could randomly explode if leave it closes for more than 4 days. After a week, gas should we weak enough to not explode for about a week😅 -after the fermented fibers are ready, pour the texture/binder/water about 2/1/3 parts in a high baking tray(or a box like yours is fine). NOTE: you might want to put less water or put more grass if you feel like the paper is not thick enough) mix well. Put more water if the paper is too thick, put more texture fiber if it’s too thin. - prepare your window screen, stir up the mixture with one of your hand until the fiber are floating everywhere. Put the window screen on the inside of the closer edge of the mixing container at a 90° angle. Like, you got the box, you put the screen 90° angle inside the box, but pull it close to the edge which is the closest to you. Then gently push it along the bottom of the container imagine that you’re spooning the fiber, keep the window screen flat at the bottom of the container with one of your hand.with your other hand, Stir the fiber around once more for 3-5 seconds without touching the surface of the window screen. Wait until the water surface is almost still, then slowly and evenly pull the window screen up, it should be 180° flat until it went above the water surface. - Wait until the water draining slowly. We have a lot of window screens and a very hot sun, so we put our window screen with the paper directly outside with the sun. Laying at 30° angle from the floor, facing the paper to the sun. CAUTION: if the sun is too hot, the paper could be too crispy. We try to avoid the sun from noon to 2pm. It should take at least 2 hours to be dry and no more than 5 hours. If it took longer, your sun is not hot enough, or the weather is too humid. Bring indoor/ under shades and use fan/wind instead. SECOND CAUTION: 2 words, rain and humidity. 70% humidity (which is common in Thailand raining season) could easily kill your paper by preventing it from drying. That might be all. Oh! A piece of advice for printing! You could try to roll your paper with rolling pin first. Maybe stack them up about 2-5 layers depend on how thick the paper is, or put a sheet of fabric on top of the paper. Roll it about 5-10 stroke back and forth and the paper would turn out to be smoother and more printer friendly. After sometime of printing on the fiber paper, it could accumulate dust that might reduce it performance. And because it’s mostly bio material, some part could fall apart while printing. Rolling it flat would help to prevent those problems in some degrees;) TL;DR: -We use different method to complete the requirements for making paper. I don’t use Okra as the binder, but it seems to be a very good idea. - smooth out the paper by stacking 2-5 pieces of paper under fabric and roll 5-10 stroke back and forth using rolling pin before printing. The paper will be smooth and tiny bit more printer friendly. - Add more fiber in the water mixture if the paper is not thick enough, or put less water. Making number seven with your thumb and index finger, the index tip touching the bottom of mixing container and the thumb is on the water surface should be enough for the water.

The finished grass print on grass paper made me tear up a bit, you may laugh but there is something incredibly beautiful and emotional about this kind of art, especially in the way you show the past and present. The fact that you used photos of the ACTUAL grass you then turned into paper and not just stock photos, when that would have been so easy, gave the finished piece of paper what I can only describe as a "soul". I don't know how to describe it, but it just hits different. Also, I'm tired so that may be part of why I got a little teary, but I don't care. This is exactly what humanity was made for. Making art for the sake of art itself, and just creating things because you love the process of creation. You definitely earned yourself an immediate subscriber, I've discovered your channel only a few hours ago and have already watched almost all your videos. You re-awakened one of my oldest hobbies and inspired me to keep creating things of my own.

this is my favorite kind of art. using the canvas as a part of the work is very creative (kind of reminds me of the artist who used to cut/stab the canvas). and i love how we as a species just decide to do things like this. someone out there saw some fresh grass looked at it and had the idea "what if i made paper out of this? what if i printed the grass onto the paper?" and that feels so awesome to me. I'm aware that I sound like one of those pretentious gallery-goers people like to make fun of but this gets me so excited! especially the part where you got to explore traditional paper-making with a unique twist on it. connecting the past with the present a little bit. it's like a call to be mindful. to notice the grass around us, how it used to be beneath the feet of our ancestors and how it is under our feet now. You can even tie in the question if it will be below the feet of our children.

Thanks! Surprisingly, the color is pretty stable. I have plenty of pieces that look just as they did on day one. Over time though, I’ve seen some paper lighten a bit, especially with things like sun exposure. Personally, I enjoy the unpredictable nature of the paper even when it comes to the color shifting!

Sodium carbonate. Its like baking soda aka sodium bi-carbonate. Except its been baked to drive off the extra water and CO2. You can do this conversion in your oven at home, if you find yourself unable to source it elsewhere.

Thank you @Little Fang you would be correct! Washing soda is basically a stronger baking soda, which I did make at home in my oven! It helps to break down and soften the tough fibers (in this case tough grass fibers!) in order to get a good pulp for paper making. Thanks for asking!

Great question! They all dull slightly, but the paper I have stored away in a ziploc bag have stayed pretty green! Others that were left out have gone a more yellow-green. To be honest, I'm surprised they are holding up so great!

Thank you very much! I made the paper in February of this year and I just checked other pieces I have stored... from that batch and there is no rotting at all! They are even still a nice earthy green-yellow color. I have noticed paper that has been out (in the air or sunlight) has yellowed a bit more than the ones I have stored though. Thanks for your question!

​@califgypsy Sodium carbonate. It's often used to clean things like baking soda would be. Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate. If you can't get washing soda, you can make it by cooking baking soda in a hot oven for about 10-15 minutes. I hope this helps. 😁
