A friend recently gave me some pieces of papyrus and I am puzzling over what to do with them. The sheets are heavier than what I use for book covers, but I don’t know if they are strong or flexible enough to use on my boxes. It might be interesting to try marbling one sheet, although that could be a bit of a waste as the beauty of the sheets is in the weave-like texture and the natural fibers. That might be lost under the marbled colors. 
What to do? I think I’ll try one piece as book covers and see how it works.
Next question: what to use for endpapers? I had some dark blue and gold hieroglyphic paper,
but there’s not enough except for a tiny book and I don’t want to order more. I have some white and gold with an Egyptian motif,
but it’s a little too shiny and too over the top for the papyrus. I think I’ll have to look further.
