FIJIAN TAPA CLOTH 12"X12"

A natural netting for decoupage or embellishing baskets and gourds. Linen bark is first stage pounded bark cloth. Paper mulberry bark is striped of the outer woody bark, then soaked overnight. The soaked inner bark is then pounded which spreads the fibers out. The pounded fibers are folded over themselves, pounded, refolded and pounded again. We price the linen bark by the ounce, but the sections tend to be 2-4 ounces. You can also soak the linen bark and join 2 or more pieces by pounding them again. You can also soak the bark and delaminate the folds to make a more lacy medium for decoupage. Sold in 2-ounce increments.
