Local artist Cheng Yen Pheng, 40, derives great pleasure from making by hand the very paper she uses for her artwork.
By her own admittance, the process is time-consuming and often repetitive but is worth the effort as it gives her the opportunity to be self-sufficient.
Currently living in Batu Arang, Selangor, she shares with FMT the process of making paper from the bark of the mulberry trees she grows in her garden.
