I came across this strange phenomenon of dried fruit as thin as paper. I couldn’t find one particular artist who makes it but though it would be interesting to have a go at making some myself. If I were to do this again I would want to cut the fruit a little thicker and cook it for less time as it was extremely brittle and although it is very pretty it is ever so slightly useless and not practical for book making. I did still enjoy the process of making this paper. they have a beautiful fragility to them and a transparency that enables you to see the natural design of the fruit. The strawberry was particularly fragile where as the apple and the red cabbage where a little more sturdy.
