Washi paper

I’ve sold a lot of these “mini haiku” books made out of Japanese paper (or chiyogami). But I’ve had a hard time finding more paper with the same pattern when it’s time to make more books. I’ve been buying small sheets from a scrapbook supply store I found on the web, but there’s a lot of wasted paper. I’ve found many other stores that sell Japanese paper, but not this cherry blossom pattern. But today I found Paper Mojo. They have a huge selection and sell whole and 1/2 sheets.

By the way, my haiku book is constructed using a techinque I learned from Hedi Kyle, called the blizzard book. Japanese paper is perfect for this binding because it folds very crisply so the folds aren’t bulky.

These books are on sale in my shop. Also available are instructions and a kit for making this book.
