I got to be a paper maker Being a paper maker i got to make paper. Colonial paper is made from line and cotten rags. The rags have to soak for 6-8 weeks so the fibers can turn into mush. After the fibers turn into mush. I put the mush in to a mold to give the paper its shape. Theni hang the paper upto dry. When the paper is dry.I put it into a gelat in mixture Then we had to polish the paper.Everyone has to work even when our shop was closed.It is fun being a paper make,but a lot of hard work.
