on toilet paper so fascinating.
I didn't know they used recycled paper--just hope it's not recycled
toilet paper! :0)

Hey Connie, You have to look at the 2 ply side of this rolling wonder.
In my Handmade Paper Class I teach my little ones that TP is
History on a Roll and how to recycle it. :o)
And, if you throw the whole roll into a pan of water, it will
magically dissolve into Paper Pulp. If you add a half cup of
concrete, and 3 tsp of cornstarch and 1 tsp of Elmers glue
to the entire mix -- this PC mixture, when spread between
two pieces of plastic screening can be (rolled) into the shape
of TP rolls. Then you let the paper roll dry, and remove the
window screening. You get the same results, using a different,
process. And you control the size of the (roll), by adjusting
how tight or how loose the screening is.In the movie the big
winding machines only produced one size.
It was just an experiment for my class, first developing the
homemade PC recipe, and then using it to imitate an existing
product, make it functional, and finally, use it as art. :o )
I really did enjoy the movie. The kids think their PC TP
method is a lot cooler. They can create theirs in color. :o )
Patricia.
