Re: [Origami] Stone paper for origami?
Boesner sells "Steinpapier" (stone paper) that claims to be made from 80% limestone powder, not using any wood. It is basically impossible to rip and very heavy. I know a couple Origami friends (f.e. Melina Hermsen, Daniel Chang) who work with it, but personally I didn't see the value. For me it feels and behaves very weird. Nice Greetings Anna

I don’t know the exact source, though…. he buys it somewhere in Mexico City. Matthew in Monterrey (not to be confused with Monterey)

However, it burned happily, clearly containing a fair amount of plastic or the like. You might use it for boats to go into water. I am not sure how it would perform outdoors for a longer time exposed to rain and sun, I would not be too expectant, but you might try it out. Regards, Hans
