About this title

Synopsis

What is washi? It is the term used to describe hand-made paper usually made from the bark fibres of one of three main types of Japanese shrubs: kouzo (paper mulberry), gampi, or mitsumata. This book is distinct from all other washi titles in that readers will learn how to make their own paper and use it to make projects. With diagrams, 4-colour photographs, and step-by-step instructions, this book will show both novice and experienced paper artists how to make washi paper - and how to create 15 exciting washi projects with their own handmade paper.It includes an introduction to washi, explaining what washi is, identifying the different types of washi paper and describing the various uses for it. A brief history of its development is also included. Then moves on to step-by-step instructions on how to make traditional washi projects, including a hand-bound blank book, purses and wallets, washi-covered eggs and boxes, origami, and more. It also contains step-by-step instructions on how to make more contemporary washi projects, including ornaments, picture frames, scrapbooking, vases for dried flower arrangements, desktop and tabletop accessories-such as pencil holder, letter tray, appointment book, napkin holders and place cards.
