Shanghai souvenir

A returned from Shanghai again and what had he got me as a souvenir. Bags? Shoes? Clothes? Electronics? No! He brought me rice paper. Yippee!


It's also known as Xuan paper, it can be used in painting with water colours and crafting and maybe even making a lantern. Or even a shoji screen, although it's not probably sturdy enough for that.




And OK he did also bring electronics, one small mp3 player for me. My old one had broke.

  1. What a nice surprise! Do you know what you will be doing with the paper yet? And love the little disco ball in your window! Have a great weekend!

    1. I am seriously considering making a lantern. You know those Akari style shades.
      The disko ball gives cool reflections of light on the office walls on sunny days.
