@Dakota20M It's a Buddhist music. You may search for "buddhist music" and find more.Thanks!

@blueheronarts Thank you for that. and Thank you for your videos. I was searching through your website and its prety fantastic. I might be buying some things soon. I hope. mostly Xuan paper. to practice on. Do you sell Chinese\Japanese stitch books? I have one but its pretty small.

or do you sell the items needed to make one.?

Thanks,

Brian O'neil

@Dakota20M Thank you! Sorry we don't carry ready-made stitch books. But you can bind the rice paper into a stitch book pretty easily. We have all kinds of rice papers and they are all suitable for book binding. If you have any questions please me me know and I might do a video showing you how to do a traditional stitchbook.

@blueheronarts Oh thank you very much. I've seen that you have rice paper on ebay. 5 doz. 9.5x13 I was wondering. what kind is it? is it double xuan or triple or single?

and for the traditional stitchbook video tutoral. Its a wonderful gesture. I've made one and its being used right now.

thank you

@Dakota20M That item is Japanese rice paper. I would say it is "single" ply due to its thinness. It is machines made, fine texture, absorbent but not that bleeding. The fiber is short so it's kind of tender when it comes to heavy washes and wet mounting. It is a good paper to practice considering the moderate price. It's great that you know how to do traditional book binding. Amy just learned it from a art class and I would ask her to do the demo.Thanks!

loved this- wish I could take lessons- it appears to be such a relaxing method- thank you for this video as you clarified some aspects by repeating the procedure several times- it must have taken many years to develop these skills(?)
