This video was great for many reasons. One is that it's the first time I've heard about Nori Paste. I bet it would be helpful in doing napkins collage, given how fragile they are. Thanks for the great inspiration, Sandy.
Ooooooh!!!! Beautiful! I didn't realize the class was this type of floral. I'll have to sign up! It is too bad that you lost some of the buddha board footage. I've got a buddha board right on my kitchen counter. Great to practice on. Thank you, Sandy!
gorgeous as usual. Did you know Chinese people have a stamp to use as a signature? And special ink? I have some although, come to think of it, I’ve never tried wetting my signature after stamping so I don’t know if it’s waterproof. If you don’t have a Chinese name (only my middle name is Chinese) then they work out your signature phonetically I think. My Cantonese daughter in law and her mother bought me a soapstone signature stamp with authentic ink in a dish with a lid. It’s amazing. I love it although, to be honest, I have to get into the habit of using it. Also, apparently they stamp their artwork in the bottom left hand corner, so you did that well!
Thanks for the info!! I’ve seen different signatures on different places, different colors, but did see a reference by one person to a stamp. That’d make sense👍🏻
@@SandyAllnock1 - In Japan the name stamp, called hanko, can be used in place of a signature. I’m not Japanese, so my Japanese colleagues literally translated Woods into Japanese and called me Mori san. I was able to buy a mori stamp at a newspaper stand. The kanji character for Woods is three of the characters for tree all together. I thought that was fun.
Ooo - very pretty! Sooo, would it make sense to paste the thin paper to the backer and then paint on it rather than wait until it’s done and then put it on the backer?
No I don’t think so. For one I wrecked a lot of sumi-e paper which would waste a lot of cardstock and Nori paste. But also without any of the papers properties left, the look would change dramatically.
These are lovely. My questions: why do you paint on the thin paper instead of directly onto a watercolor card? Also, nori paste~~~instead of other kinds of glue~~~why?
Because sumi-e paper creates completely different results. It’s traditional and I love anything with a history. In the class I demo on both sumi-e but also on hot press watercolor paper for people who want to focus on one or the other.
Sandy your cards are very beautiful. I adore them. Thank you so much for sharing your time with us. 🌺🌸🌺🌸🌺 xxx
The cards are so beautiful. I have always loved anything you create. So beautiful 💖😃
These were all so beautiful.
These are beautiful. I think the sentiments and the ribbons should be detachable as the cards can then be framed. They are little works of art!
these are so stunning ☺☺
These are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.
Glad you like them!
Sandy those are just beautiful. Been to Japan and you have captured the essence in your paintings.
Thank you so much!
Gorgeous cards Sandy, and love watching your creative process ❤
Beautiful beautiful cards and technique fun to watch too. All of your cards here have such grace.. Thank you
You are so welcome!
Yay! Excited!
Your catds are beautiful 😊
I got the class! I’m just waiting on supplies. Can’t wait!❤❤❤
I’ve been using a white gel pen to write in my dark cards so I don’t need a liner. It has a kind of magic look somehow.
Oh I love all these cards, so beautiful ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
Lovely!
Hello Sandy! Thank you for this!❤
You are so welcome
Another great technique, Sandy! This class goes on my wish list. 😊
I love watching you use the brushes to create the different petals, leaves and branches. You make it look so easy!

Only if the napkins can handle getting wet 👀

Beautiful cards!
Thanks so much!

Beautiful 🤩
Unfortunately I can’t do the class now cause I have too many other projects in the go!
It’ll be there when you’ve got time❤️

@@sherrywoods4630 oh that’s super cool! Do you still have the stamp?

One of my questions, too!

What if we glue the sumi paper down on the card stock before we paint? Will the mounting backing interfere with the paint?
You could try it but I’m guessing you wouldn’t get all the gorgeous soft edges
Gorgeous🩷
