Heute ist das Papier von Shepherds Falkiners in London angekommen. Wunderbare Papiere. Es ist ein Vergnügen sich die Seite des Geschäftes "for fine paper and bookbinding supplies" anzusehen, Papier auszusuchen, bestellen geht einfach, in knapp einer Woche ist es da. Wir haben 2 verschiedene japanische Papiere ausgesucht: Chiyogami und Katazome shi.
"Katazome-shi" literally means stencil-dyed paper. Based on traditional kimono printing techniques these Japanese papers are stencilled by hand to produce unforgettable, intense colours and patterns. Like Chiyogami, the strength and look of these special papers makes them great for bookbinding, box making, collage and card making, covering lampshades, decorating furniture and much more.
Chiyogami is beautiful hand screen printed paper from Japan. The designs were originally based on the bright kimono textiles which the papermakers from the countryside saw on the fashionable wealthier ladies in the larger cities. To create a single completed sheet of Chiyogami, each base sheet is silkscreened with as many colours as there are in that particular pattern - in most cases, four or five colours. The most common uses for these papers are bookbinding, origami, boxmaking, collage and card making, covering furniture and even walls - the creative possibilities are endless!
Zwei Kisten, ein Fotoalbum, ein paar kleine Bücher werde ich machen.
