It's time to order more paper. I'm down to my last few sheets of Thai Unryu...unfortunately, my regular source has reduced their color selection and doubled prices...so some of my "go-to" colors are no longer an option. Plus I need to get paper ordered for the upcoming glut of joomchi workshops. I ordered late last year in anticipation of only teaching one...but I'm already up to three, and it's only the end of January. It's a nice problem to have, and I hope to add at least one more.
Doing some advanced prep this weekend for the aforementioned joomchi workshops, I tore down the hanji I got from Paper Connection. It costs a bit more than the Unryu, so the students will only get a half sheet of each color. Of course, I need to order more of that too.
I took the time on Saturday to rinse the rest of the shibori joomchi (after unbinding too soon in a fog). Some kept a decent amount of pattern, but most lost the delineation of the bindings. The surfaces look a little worse for wear too...but I see many of these finding a future home.
