My swap book was
created from all handmade paper. The cover is a mulberry with skeletal
leaf inclusions from Thailand, the pages are lemongrass fibers from our
garden. The lemongrass was beat in our Critter hollander for about 4
hours and then pulled western style. The form of the book is a Japanese
Daifuku cho (Great Fortune notebook) which was used by merchants as an account
book. The tassels were usually much longer and worn woven into the
merchants belt thereby aiding theft security. -- Duane of Surfbunny
