After much fiber preparation, the anticipated moment of dipping the su and sugeta into the vat to form the washi arrived. Rogier demonstrated and then I made many attempts to get the correct angle of the su and sugeta going into the vat.   I made more than ten tries before I got a sheet that was fairly even and without too many imperfections. I tried to get the feel of the movements needed to create a smooth flow of the fiber on the su, a very difficult thing.  With the patient help of my teacher Rogier, I did finally produce twenty acceptable sheets of washi.
