[DIYbio] Extracting substances from a chromotography paper

So if I were to extract amino acids by hydrolyzing human hair, and then separated them out with chromotography paper, then identified each one according to reference Rf values, could I then be able to then remove the amino acids from the paper and convert them to their powdered form?

I had an idea that if I cut up the paper (separating each type of amino acids) and then dunk it in pure water the amino acids dissolve into the water and I can then remove the paper and allow the water to evaporate leaving the amino acids behind. 

Thoughts?
