Turn silk fibers into beautiful handmade paper.
FOLDING PAPER Japanese silk paper (Mulberry Paper; Gampi Paper) is a luxuriously soft, strong, and richly colored craft paper made from silky smooth plant fibers. The paper is more firm than regular tissue paper and the colors much brighter, but above all our Japanese Silk Paper is fully FSC-certified. Our gorgeous Japanese Silk Paper is made in Italy using the same Japanese techniques discovered in ancient times. It comes in 20 different rich colors in blocks attached on one side like a flip booklet. Each sheet detaches easily and is ready for whatever craft adventure lies ahead. HOW MANY SHEETS PER BLOCK ARE THERE? 240 sheets 480 sheets 960 sheets 960 sheets in wooden dispensing-storage box WHAT BLOCK SIZE DIMENSIONS ARE AVAILABLE? 240 sheets = 3 different dimension sets 6.3 x 6.3 inches (16x16 cm), 21 g/m² 9.44 x 9.44 inches (24x24 cm), 21 g/m² 12.59 x 12.59 inches (32x32 cm), 21 g/m² 480 sheets = 1 dimension set 19.68 x 29.92 inches (50x76 cm), 21 g/m² 960 sheets = 1 dimension set with and without a box 6.3 x 6.3 inches (16x16 cm), 21 g/m² WHAT ASSORTED COLORS ARE IN EACH BLOCK? 000 peach | 004 salmonpink | 006 dark pink | 020 light turquoise | 021 skyblue | 034 light green | 038 green | 046 brown | 047 dark brown | 056 ultramarine | 065 cyclamen | 068 yellow | 071 golden yellow | 072 baby yellow | 082 orange | 090 red | 091 carmine | 140 white | 145 black | 200 dark green DETAILS Japanese Silk Paper Mercurius Brand FSC certified source 3 different dimension choices 3 different amounts per block 20 Assorted colors Made in Italy ARE THERE ANY OTHER VARIETY TYPES AVAILABLE? Yes. We also offer Japanese Silk Paper in separate listings as: Christmas Colors Japanese Silk Paper (9.44x9.44) Metallic Colors Japanese Silk Paper (6.33x6.33) (19.68x29.92) WHAT IS JAPANESE SILK PAPER? It’s easy to confuse Japanese silk paper with actual silk paper. Actual silk paper is made using silk fibers. But Japanese silk paper is not! Japanese silk paper is a thin paper, like tissue paper, but is much stronger and made from plant fibers. It gets its name from the silky feel of the paper once formed and is made using ancient Japanese techniques. It can be made from fibers of many different plants, including the kōzo plant (Broussonetia papyrifera, paper mulberry tree), the mitsumata (Edgeworthia chrysantha) shrub and the gampi tree (Diplomorpha sikokiana). Although this is an oversimplification of the process, the pulp from these plants are cooked in an alkaline solution, rinsed, beaten and formed into paper. It can be made today with a machine or using a traditional screen. WHAT CAN I USE JAPANESE SILK PAPER FOR? The resulting tissue paper is surprisingly strong, takes on color beautifully and can be used in a variety of craft and non craft ways. Use it to make paper lanterns, window stars, semi-transparent window scenes, handmade cards, mobiles, collages, decoupage, all those fun preschool arts and crafts projects,… If it can be made with tissue paper, it can be made with Japanese Silk Paper.

As part of my upcoming exhibition 'Passage' at the Caboolture Hub Gallery, I have been exploring silk paper as a medium on which to monoprint. There are several ways of making silk paper. I use the iron method with silk cocoon strippings, where the outer sericin (or gum) in the fibre has not been removed during the industrial process. All silk comes from the cocoon produced by the silk worm (remember them? I think we all had them as 'pets' when we were children). To make silk paper, I lay out the silk fibers, mist it with water, and iron it between sheets of baking paper. The addition of moisture and heat activates the sericin and softens it enough for it to bind the fibres together. When the paper is cool and has dried, the sericin reverts to its natural state and glues the fibres permanently. I'm addicted to making silk paper.... I love how I can easily turn a silk by-product into a beautiful soft textured surface on which I can print. I prefer to lay down the fibres in a random manner (which suits my style!) so the resulting paper is uneven and full of 'holes'. This is a perfect result, making the paper transparent and light in places, but still with plenty of strength. For my exhibition, I have completed an artists book using silk paper and today I'm working on a large hanging piece, about 3 metres long. The photos below are of the hanging piece in progress, before printing. Silk cocoon strippings, bought online from Silksational $13 for 100g laying out the fibres, similar to making felt Misting with water Ironing between sheets of baking paper. This is the only sort of ironing I enjoy! The completed sheet of silk paper, 3m long. Ready for printing. Detail from my artist book 'Ephemeral', showing monprints on silk paper.
