ink and fold papers
Decorative end- and cover papers produced by
laying a sheet of plain rice paper on a lined
glass surface to aid in the placement of the
design. The glass can be wetted before the paper
is laid on, or the paper itself can be thoroughly
wetted. The design is laid on with colored inks
and a brush, and the paper is then folded twice
along its long dimension and then over, forming a
square. The square is squeezed tightly to make the
color blend, and the paper is then unfolded and
allowed to dry. Dots with circles and stripes are
commonly used designs for this paper. (183 )
