Frank,
Please bring a sample of your mottled raffia to the Western Clave. Sounds
very interesting how you make your own.
Thanks,
Guy

I make my own "mottled" raffia. I open it up, fold it over in thirds and
glue it together with head cement (Sally Hanson's Hard as Nails). I
sprinkle a little hairs mask dubbing on the cement before I fold it.
Works
great.
