@bayer54 Some are more transparent than others. Use gloss medium and it will improve the transparency of the paper. The most transparent paper would be gift wrap tissue. These vary and some fall apart when wet, so you have to try different brands to find one that works.
the finished piece would have been a good finish to show exactly what was described about the appearance of the leaves when the medium was dry. thank you for sharing
It called unryu if I'm not mistaken. I've got them at a art supply store. I never seen any other rice paper at Michael's or craft stores, but those rice papers for calligraphy. Those never go transparent with gloss medium.
Nice work..... stay connected
Wow!
Extremely interesting. I must try this soon.
Good idea! Thanks 👍😊❤

Nita typically uses gel medium as a "glue" as it is archival.
Thank you, will try this with some of the maple leaves that are falling at the moment, it's Autumn in New Zealand.
I find Rice paper easily in the calligraphy & indian ink area of the Hobby Lobby --- all the papers they suggest using is in the same area....
This is really neat! What type of medium is applied to the inside? I dont think she mentioned what it was.

Where can I get those rice papers? I searched for unryn paper; they don't look transparent to me. Thanks!
