1.Papyrus : The cyperus papyrus plant grows in the fresh water of the Nile. It has long roots and stems and the ancient Egyptians used it in building ships and making papyrus paper. The outer bark of the papyrus plant is removed and the inner pith is sliced into thin strips, which are subsequently hammered to break the fibers and drain the water. They are then soaked into ordinary water for 3 days until the fibers become flexible and transparent. The papyrus strips are then cut to the required length and placed on a piece of cotton, each at a slight overlap making two layers, one horizontal and the other vertical. The papyrus sheets are put between two pieces of cardboard and placed under a hand press until they dry. The cardboard is changed every 8 hours and the drying process takes about 3 days. Finally, the papyrus sheets are ready for painting and are given to qualified artists. The materials used are ink, oils and gouache and besides; it is also possible to write, typewrite and draw on papyrus.
