Joseph Wu,
wolf,
That is a relief to know. I just would not use it if it was made of actual Elephant Hide. I know paper was made of plant fibers, however, you know how the human race can be. There is always somebody who wants to create a strange idea, and then sale it.Paper, by definition, is a felt-like material made from plant fibres, so, no, it's not actually made from elephant hide.
wolf,
OOO! Gross!! See what I mean.But elephant poo paper is real paper...

Eh? It's way more natural than pulping down a tree and mixing it with corrosive acids/bases and solvents. Anyhow, dried dung is still used as cooking fuel in some parts of the world.Nesting Crane wrote:OOO! Gross!! See what I mean.

Thank you David for that tip about the Mulberry paper. I went to Target and I found the exact same thing! So now off to fold for my exhibit!
Now on this slight side subject. I was wondering if any one would mind sending me a model of your own creation and design so I can put it in my exhibit? I will give you full credit, and it will also inform non folders who look at the exhibit, that there are lots of us out there. If you would like more info or are intrested please pm me please. I would also be really awesome also to see someone elses creation up close.
Happy folding,
Funkee Folder

I folded Eric Joisel's Rat with the Mulpaper and it came out pretty good but I think it would of been nicer with foil backing. I am going to try this out with Dragon In Flight by Charles Esseltine. Now David who do you mean by Phil? If you tell me I will probably do a hit the forehead and go DUH! move but just wanted to know. (Oh and for the record I have to say I am pretty fried right now so that is why I probably forgot! )

Thanks, Those were wet folded with Thai 3-D Marble I'ts a little thicker than the packged mulberry paper.
I just orderd some more of the pink 3-d marble paper to fold some Kawasaki Rose's from it. I also orderd some of the Thai elephant dung paper, I'll let you know how it folds.

I recived my paper order the other day. The Asian Elephant Dung Paper is a little thick and it rips easily when wet. It doesn't have any coarse grass inclusions in it though. It works fairly well for simpler models. I folded Stephen Weiss's swan from it. Here's a picture
