Beautiful Japanese Chiyogami Paper Flowers Cherry Blossoms Half Sheet (P3)

Beautiful Japanese Chiyogami Paper Flowers Cherry Blossoms Half Sheet (P3)

This is hand-silkscreened chiyogami paper. This paper is beautiful-there are flowers and there are circles with a design that reminds me of tree branches. Some of those are in gold and ....what can I say-I love this paper!

This measures approx 95 x 32 cm or 37.4 x 12.6 inches. It comes folded in a bag (I bought it this way) and I will package it very carefully so it doesn't get damaged.

Chiyogami has a long past but today the decorative patterns are silkscreened onto machinemade sheets of paper that is a mix of kozo ( a deciduous tree indigenous to Shikoku and Kyushu Islands in Japan) and sulphite (sulphite is used to keep the price reasonable). To create 1 piece of gorgeous chiyogami, a sheet of paper is silkscreened by hand with each individual color. Between applications of color, the sheets are dried on racks. You can imagine how time consuming and difficult it must be to line up each color in relation to the pattern!

This paper is perfect for scrapbooking, card making, origami, collage or any project you can think of!

Handmade Beautiful Japanese Chiyogami Paper Sew On Buttons-Floral

I had so much fun making these and if I do say so myself-these are really beautiful! There are 5 buttons each with gorgeous flowers on a black background. There is lots of gold to add a touch of elegance to these buttons. Each is handmade by me using fabulous chiyogami paper and aluminum buttons. I applied multiple coatings of an acrylic resin that is made by a Japanese paper company. This resin is made specifically for Japanese paper as it keeps the paper from turning yellow.Even though these are sealed, they are made from paper and therefore should only be used on items that don't need to be washed. They measure 23mm or .7 inches.
