These boats sailed from sunny Singapore and were made by Michele Elliot.
The small brown and white boats area made from wax tjap’ed paper using traditional Javanese tjaps. 
The yellow and bold boat is made from paper used for offerings in Buddhist temples.
The blue and white paper boat is made from some lovely wrapping paper depicting astrological charts.
The final one (blue thread) is hand stitched on hand made paper from kalimpong in West Bengal. I visited a beautiful small paper production centre there and was given a tour on the workshop. They mostly use daphne plants.
Michele is an artist from Australia, currently living in Singapore.
