This week I carved a small block from cherrywood (my first) to do some paper-testing.
I printed two versions of my peony design onto many different types of washi paper to decide what sort I would use for my big project.
I'm hoping to do some bokashi printing, and wanted a paper that would show the gentle gradations well, as well as printing black sumi ink sharply.
