✨ Beautiful Rice Paper. Beautiful Designs. But Why Doesn't Your Finished Project Always Look the Way You Imagined?
You've found the perfect rice paper design.
The colours are gorgeous. The artwork is beautiful. You can already imagine how amazing it will look on your next creation.
But then something goes wrong...
😣 The paper wrinkles or develops bubbles.

😣 The edges remain visible, making your beautiful design look like a picture simply glued onto wood.
😣 The final varnish changes the appearance of your artwork.
