Papel de Amate is prepared by the Atomi people in Hildago Mexico. They pound strips of Ficus sp and "lattice" them together. The vertical strips laying over the horizontals in this photo. It isn't woven. Assembled wet so a lot of the junctures are loosely bound by the lignan content. The outer edging provides most of the structure to it. As I work on it many of the junctures come apart and I re - adhere them with beeswax in the Weave Series. The borders have not separated from the verticals/horizontals in the 4 I've done.
