PACK JAPANSES SILVER FOIL

PACK JAPANESE SILVER FOIL
 

This paper has a silver metallic face and an opaque white face.

It has always been my favorite paper. All my models were designed and folded with it!
About ten years ago, it was still nowhere to be found in Europe and I remember having brought back from my trip from Japan a lot of 24x24 cm sheets which I kept preciously and used it sparingly. Then I was able to receive a 35x35 cm pack made only for origami-shop and I was able to create more complex models.

Here you can select the size of sheets in the options above.

Qualities:
 

This paper holds creases perfectly. Being extremely thin and strong, it works well when there are a lot of layers. It is therefore particularly suited to fold super complex models. Besides, it ages well thanks to its metal base which maintains folds over time. Finally, it has 3 advantages which for me make all the difference:

1. Shaping: folding with this paper is like playing with modelling clay. You sculpt the model more than you fold it. It is easy to ‘fill out’ the model, and any fine details you add hold well.
2. It allows you to create paper suitable for any two-coloured model using tissue paper glue on its faces (see how to make sandwich paper).
3. Its opaque white face makes it possible to obtain a non-shiny colored face (unlike the pure sandwich whose metallized face crosses the color of the tissue paper.
