I did do a little of that early on, but haven't spent much time with him lately. And Presszilla is still in limbo in a friend's garage, waiting for a stable (and warm) place to set up.

It's so hard to judge papers when one is obliged to shop online! It's challenging to even know where to start.<br /><br />Hi Jennifer, it's nice to "see" you! Seems like you've been under the weather a bit lately... hope you're feeling spry now!<br /><br />Lotus, welcome.. and thanks for taking the time to comment.Sherrie Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01967844327055630854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5784292642337662930.post-48826087874647630072011-12-24T01:29:43.888-05:002011-12-24T01:29:43.888-05:00very interesting, and beautiful. so 3-D!!very interesting, and beautiful. so 3-D!!lotusgreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04393867916489599891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5784292642337662930.post-23877824504783044712011-12-23T23:35:25.166-05:002011-12-23T23:35:25.166-05:00I love the Kozo papers from Awagami.

But sometimes the creamy tint of the paper is not what I want, especially as it's not a very warm cream. They make a white one called Kozo Extra Light, but as its name suggests, it's very thin, and is better printed with a press.<br />But thanks for documenting all this experimentation, it's wonderful!Elizabeth Banfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18355526103118538327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5784292642337662930.post-18680984898501366682011-12-23T17:46:00.344-05:002011-12-23T17:46:00.344-05:00its very helpful seeing how the different papers w...its very helpful seeing how the different papers work, thank you :)Jennifer Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06528908250338974537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5784292642337662930.post-42041386583402250512011-12-23T09:20:41.428-05:002011-12-23T09:20:41.428-05:00It is interesting how different the papers printed...It is interesting how different the papers printed. If the Kozo is more buff color than you'd like there are a lot of options on Hiromi paper I think they offer a sample pack. western paper can be nice but it needs a lot more pressure.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12439861326467305955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5784292642337662930.post-62996630124805930122011-12-22T20:06:52.595-05:002011-12-22T20:06:52.595-05:00I really am intrigued by your experiment.

I will be more diligent and share what I have found...Where are you buying your paper?<br />And the image is great! I love this one breaking the edge even better than your last one.

I ordered a few sheets just to see what it's like. I can't imagine...<br /><br />I received an Andrew Stone beetle in my exchange set... Such a joy to hold "the real thing" in my hand after watching it develop on your blog.

But $8.00/sheet vs $21.00/sheet makes it very suitable for some work. And I'll use it again.<br />(some of my beetles made it on a few leftover pieces too.)Andrew Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02184272649874888854noreply@blogger.com
