I have been testing my materials for durability outside. Concerned about the fragility of the homemade plant paper and the exposed thread held together by water soluble fabric, I coated both these materials with natural beeswax and hung them in a tree to face the weather.
I'm pleased to see that beeswax has done the trick.
Both the paper and the thread basket have remained intact. The basket has kept it's shape too. This gives me confidence to proceed with my work.
