I just checked and I don't have most of these on my balcony
apartment (grin!), and if I stepped outside (going down to ground
level first) I'm not sure I'd recognise them. I have a bag of
Ground Tumeric in my spice collection, somewhere, and fer sure I
have tea, although I usually don't toss the tea-bag until it is
giving off distilled water.
Tea (tannic acid?) is a good one; that should make me a beige-ish
colour, depending on strength. Onion skin I can try, but what
colour do I get? I think of onion skins as being translucent and
colourless, except for the very pale dry skin.
Berries we have on the bushes near the lake, although I'm a tad
hesitant about boiling berries of unknown toxicity (?) in my
cooking saucepans.
Leaves, such as mint, I can use to make a pale green, I guess.

I would imagine that the process can be broken down into
   1) preparing the pulp
   2) processing the pulp,
                           he wrote, thinking of Skeena Cellulose
on the west coast of British Columbia.
Rather than go to all the trouble of step 1 and then getting
stuck, why not start at step 2 (you'll get to the finish line
sooner!) and then go back to step 1.
We could take some old newspaper stock, say newsprint or office
paper, shred it, soak in water and then determine how best to
roll and dry and form it.
Having done that, we can go backwards and work out how to make
the stock. After all, there's not much point in boiling up two
gallons of steaming cellulose if you haven't worked out what to
do with it next.
Once the paper is made, how will you use it? It was a brave,
BRAVE man who first fed beetroot-stained juice through his
Hewlett-Packard LJ4L laser printer (grin!)
