Fabric burning experimentation

I have been doing experimentations of fabric burning for my stich block.
It only works for pure polyester fabric.
Even all of them are made by 100% polyester, each fabric makes differebt result which makes me being addicted to do this!! I would love to use this technique for my stich works.

Japanese traditional design paper

I'm comming back to Japan, my home country for Christmas holiday.
Today, I went to Japanese traditiona paper shop 'Shatou(社頭)' which is at Kamakura, komachi street.




The shop sells various kind of japanese traditional paper 'Washi(和紙)'. I spend almost 1hour to find my favorite one...

These below are all I got from the shop. All of them are genuine 'Washi'.
I was amazed at the number of the papers inside of the shop.
