Handmade papers tend to have very different properties from type to type and even from batch to batch. Some kinds of papers which are already grouped under a separate name (such as washi) may be hand-made, so the term is a little confusing. In this listing, you can find models folded from hand-made paper which is not grouped under any other name. This includes artisanal papers such as Origamido or those made by John Gerard.
